Hey guys, we're planning a big day at Electric Dreams in El Segundo. 

 

We're reopening our store after a long time. And also, opening to the public our new Gary Gerding track. 

 

For those who are not familiar with Electric Dreams - we have the biggest slot car inventory in the world, with over 6,000 different models. 

 

WHERE: Electric Dreams Slot Cars - 606 Hawaii St. El Segundo, CA 90245

 

WHEN: Sunday, June 20, from 9 AM to 3 PM

 

Free track time, food trucks, vintage cars, and more. Plenty of parking!

 

A Swap Meet is also happening. With everything slot car-related! So, if you have stuff for sale, bring it over! 

 

1/24, 1/32 scale, and HO. 

Modern, vintage, scratchbuild. Controllers, tools, parts - bring it over. 

 

Here's the promo:

 

 

See you guys on Father's Day!

I've run some laps on the new track and it's awesome. If I didn't already have a roadtrip booked in the other direction I'd be there for sure. It's a great facility especially for finding any cars or parts in 1/32 scale. 

 

Glad you're getting it open again. I'll be by when I get back.

Never forget that first place goes to the racer with the MOST laps, not the racer with the FASTEST lap
