The Slot Shop – Utah, Idaho, and Wyoming's only slot car racing center since 2010 – closed in April of 2020, but will be re-opening approximately April 2021.

 

Our new address 3019 S. State St., SLC, UT 84115. Just across the street from our old shop. Shop needs a lot of work, but we own it!!! No more rent.

 

Temp phone is (801) 792-7973 Don's cell.

 

We love all slot racers!

Glad to hear you guys are re-opening and you own the building. That's the biggest part of the budget - good luck!

Congrats Don!  i was wondering if you were going to do that, get out of the old stove shop. hope you put the old track back in (not sure what it was called).

sorry that you weren't in when i visited when i was out there early last spring- you're a busy guy! yer kid (Donnie?) gave me a beer though and we had a fun time chatting. say hi to him for me. 

good luck to you my friend.
