A great place for families and kids of all ages to spend time together and have an experience which is fun for everyone!  We provide a family friendly, kid-oriented retail shop that celebrates American’s love for their cars.

The centerpiece of American Hot Rod Racer’s innovative retail process allows boys and girls of all ages (with a primary target audience of 4-14) to design, assemble, customize and race their own custom car. Customers get a unique, hard plastic American Hot Rod Racer driver's license with their picture on it--turning everyone into a racer!  Racers have an option to make a pinewood car or a remote-controlled car--both become an expression of the racer and are unique to them. Once created, remote-controlled car builders can race their cars on the in-store track or just take some practice laps while we record and display lap times, speed, and finishing place. Race your friends or our local champions down the Pinewood track which conforms to Cub Scout standards while getting instant feedback on time, speed, and finishing place. Each racer leaves with their own car which is ready to run at home and can be brought back to race at the store during open racing hours. 

American Hot Rod Racer is the perfect place for a birthday party or other group event. With an American Hot Rod Racer birthday party, you can relax and focus on your child or group at a memorable and exciting event while our trained pit crew takes care of everything. We can even provide the invitations, cakes, pizza and goody bags.

In addition to the car-building experience, American Hot Rod Racer offers a full array of merchandise which is ready for you to take home. Whether you are looking for a wooden puzzle for a toddler, a slot-car set for a teen, or a high-end, nitro-powered remote-controlled car for the adult hobbyist, American Hot Rod Racer has the perfect vehicle for you. We also offer a great selection of NASCAR items, collectables, diecast cars, and more.

American Hot Rod Racer offers a full calendar of special events such as organized races with skill brackets.  Bring your American Hot Rod Racer car in and test your skill against the best!

 We'll see you at the track!
