**Check the Track**: First off, make sure the track is clean and properly aligned. Sometimes dust or a misaligned piece can cause the car to go off track. Give it a good wipe down and see if that helps!

**Inspect the Car's Wheels**: Take a look at the wheels of your slot car. If they’re dirty or worn out, they might not be gripping the track properly. Clean them up or consider replacing them if they’re looking rough.

**Adjust the Guide Flag**: The guide flag is what keeps your car on the track. If it’s bent or not positioned right, that could be your problem. Try adjusting it so it sits straight and see if that does the trick.

**Check the Weight Distribution**: Sometimes, if the car is too light in the front or back, it can derail easily. You might want to add some weight to stabilize it. Just make sure it doesn’t make the car too heavy to run smoothly.
