Who we are
Lakeshore Micro RC is a mobile RC and slot car racing experience built for people who love to tinker, compete, learn, and play, or who just want to try something new without needing to be an expert.
We bring professionally set-up Mini-Z RC and slot car tracks, timing systems, and hands-on guidance directly to your space. Libraries, community centers, schools, breweries, birthday parties, team-building events. If people gather there, we can race there. Only thing you need to bring? Your inner child.
How it started
Lakeshore Micro RC grew out of a lifelong love of cars, hobbies, and the kind of places where people show up simply because it’s fun to be there. We noticed something missing along the Lakeshore: plenty of hobbyists, plenty of interest, but very few spaces where beginners felt welcome and community came first.
Tiny cars. big fun.
