Idaho Earthworks LLC Brings the Thrill of Scalextric Slot Car Racing to a New Generation

Plummer, Idaho – October 26, 2023 – Idaho Earthworks LLC, a dynamic company based in Plummer, Idaho, is excited to announce its venture into bringing the classic excitement of Scalextric slot car racing to enthusiasts of all ages. While perhaps an unexpected turn for a company traditionally involved in earthmoving and construction (yes, seriously!), Idaho Earthworks saw an opportunity to inject some good old-fashioned fun into people’s lives, and rekindle a passion for a hobby that’s been around for decades. “We’re a pretty diverse team here at Idaho Earthworks,” explains company spokesperson, Sarah Miller. “We’ve got folks who are into everything from heavy machinery to, well, miniature racing! And a lot of us grew up loving Scalextric. It felt like a natural fit, honestly – precision, building, a little bit of healthy competition...it all aligns with our company values, even if it looks a little different.” So, how did a company specializing in excavation and land development get into the world of tiny cars whizzing around tracks? Miller laughs. “We started building a track for a company team-building event. It was a huge hit! People were genuinely surprised at how engaging and competitive it was. We realized there was a real demand for this kind of fun, and we decided to make it a part of what we offer.” What is Scalextric, Anyway? For those unfamiliar, Scalextric isn’t just a toy – it’s a hobby, a competition, and a whole lot of fun. It’s a miniature racing system where players control small, electric cars on a specially designed track. Each car is guided by a hand-held controller, allowing players to accelerate, brake, and steer. The thrill comes from mastering the track, overtaking opponents, and simply enjoying the speed and spectacle. “It’s a fantastic way to spend time with family and friends,” says Miller. “It's engaging for kids and adults alike. There's strategy involved – learning the track, managing your speed, even a little bit of blocking! It’s a really social activity.” Idaho Earthworks' Scalextric Offering: More Than Just Cars and Tracks Idaho Earthworks isn’t just selling Scalextric sets. They’re offering a complete experience.
