The Checkered Flag Slot Car and R/C Complex

Looking for a unique, high-octane family adventure that gets everyone off their phones and into the action? Look no further than The Checkered Flag Slot Car and R/C Complex, Tennessee’s premier destination for miniature motorsports! Located just minutes from the Pigeon Forge Parkway in Sevierville (right by the Pirate’s Voyage parking lot), this newly relocated, state-of-the-art facility offers an unforgettable indoor experience for casual tourists and hardcore hobbyists alike.

Step inside and feel the rush of nostalgia and modern competition. The complex features a massive, professional-grade 8-Lane Slot Car Track complete with electronic lap counting, where you can zoom 1/24 scale cars at lightning speeds. Ready to go off-road? Take the wheel at the RC Off-Road Course, a challenging indoor terrain packed with jumps and obstacles perfect for trucks and buggies. If straight-line speed is your game, line up at the precision-timed Drag Racing Strip for a head-to-head showdown, or trade paint on the high-speed NASCAR Oval.

The Checkered Flag is the ultimate rainy-day savior or hot-summer escape. It is highly affordable, offering track time in convenient 15-minute increments with all cars and controllers provided. The passionate, friendly staff—often led by the owner, John—are always on hand to give novices pro-tips, helping young children and adults alike capture the checkered flag.

Whether you’re introducing the kids to the imaginative world of building and racing, reliving your own childhood memories, or browsing the fully stocked on-site Pro Shop, this attraction delivers pure, screen-free excitement. Don’t just watch the action on your vacation—drive it!
