HO Slot Car Speed Shop

aka: Kensington Speedway - Again!

HO Racing is finally back in San Diego! There hasn't been a place to race HO slot cars with a high quaility track in for 17 years, but it has now return with this cozy little shop. Gary Morgan last had the "Kensington Speedway" back in 1997. Now fast-forward to 2014 and he's opened his "HO SLOT CAR SPEED SHOP" on the east end of Mission Valley not far from Qualcomm stadium. It features a super-fast, custom, Cronin built "BP-1 Engleman" track with TrakMate timing. The new Speed Shop is all about fast, fun, high-quaility HO racing. Morgan builds custom slot cars, offers advise, and carries lots of high performance HO cars and HO racing parts. But what the Speed Shop is really all about is racing, racing, and more HO racing.

For the front you get O-ring style front wheels and axle, and for the rear you get a set up of double flanged narrow rims and narrow slip on silicone tires - along with a Pro Crown gear for faster and smoother performance.
