No, they aren't. In fact, a friend of mine has the track from the shop in his garage.
I wish they would do it some more. The lack of slot car racing is why I got into R/C in the first place.

Damn it
I used to really enjoy it, still have a few cars and controls and tons of parts, I got rid of a lot of stuff already.

We just need to get eveyrone into 1/18 scale R/C and be done with it. We used to race them here at my work parking lot, but everyone got out of it and got into the big gas powered cars and trucks. I love the small scale stuff.
Here's a photo of our track:
