are available, or you can bring your own from home and<br />
strut your stuff on the tracks! With these little roadsters,<br />
patrons can watch as they zoom around at impressive<br />
speeds of 60-75 miles per hour! That’s so fast that a car<br />
can complete one lap around the 105 foot road course<br />
in 2 seconds flat!<br />
It’s a great way to spend a Friday evening and makes for<br />
a great venue for a fun birthday party for the kids. Though<br />
it is a draw for all ages, the weekly competitive races usually<br />
appeal more toward an older generation who remember<br />
the excitement of participating in the heyday of scale<br />
racing. NASCAR and super-modified races are held on<br />
Friday nights, while drag and wing car races are held on<br />
the first and third Saturday of each month. On the second<br />
and fourth Saturday, drag races take place. Participants<br />
who claim the glory in races are awarded with a prize of<br />
either “Garage Bucks”, which can be redeemed in Charlie’s<br />
shop, or track time to get in some extra laps.<br />
Whether you are a long-time fan or new to the idea,<br />
slot car racing at Charlie’s Garage is a great way to get<br />
out and meet some new friends while having some good<br />
old-fashioned fun. A quick trip over to his shop in Pearl is<br />
a guaranteed to thrill!<br />
