The turn out of racers at Eric's wasn't all that large, but the racing and the fun was real big. 

Pro Hardbody:
I'd have to say that the biggest news of the day was Oscar, the "Big O", aka "BugMan", has now accended to the throne and is also know as "The King of Hardbody".  Yep, that's right!  Oscar took an amazingly sweet - John Cukras prepared Mega G, and completely "Kicked Butt" on the entire Pro Hard body field, including the previous reigning hard body monarch, "King Nelson HB I".  It was an awesome sight to see, as Oscar thrust his fist into the air at the end of the final heat. 

Amateur ("Rookie") Hardbody:
We had a complete field of 4 rookie racers so we were able to hold a separate hb race.  After 4 heats of some solid racing, Weldon Morris took over and won the race.  But this was not before he was seriously challenged by new racer Darren Angelo up until his Tomy SRT had gear problems.  Albert Vasquez
and "Lenny Kravitz" Pincus rocked the house and closed close out the field.

SCHOR Super Stock:
The Super Stock Main was definitely the best race of the day featuring four very fast super stock cars.  It was decided at the very end when Morris crashed out and Bill Katata surprised the entire room by zipping past both Morris and Ben in the last 15 seconds to win by a half lap.

SCHOR Pro-Modified:
Morgan was fastest and won the Pro Modified main.  He was running his slick little G3R/T+ Hybrid car.  It was fast, hooked up, and pretty much untouchable.  Ben was followed in second

NEO:
Since there were only 2 entrants for NEO we had a "Match Race".  It was between the two NEO heavyweights Ben and Morgan.  These guys tend to trade places back and forth at the front of most SCHOR NEO races so it was only fitting.   This time Morgan got the win. 

A great and fun Saturday of racing on the fast and fabulous Velocity Dome Bucktrax.  A very big thanks from all of us racers to Eric and his family for their great hospitality.

Katz Spa Ring (Giant HO Slot Car Track) ... The Original KSR Video

Some of you may not know the cool and amazing, yet sad story behind the Katz-Spa-Ring.

Unfortunately, the original copy of this video was taken off "You Tube" due to some kind of politics or legal B.S. But this copy is from Japan, so I guess they can't sue 'em over there!

A Brand New Track for SCHOR Racing...

Mike Low's new HO Hillclimb
About a month ago I sent out a email to SCHOR racers and mentioned that there were possibly new tracks on the horizon that we might race on soon.  Well that prospect is quickly becoming a reality, because SCHOR racer and HO track builder Scott Dunlap (with the help of San Diego CAD man -Ty Brittain) is now producing some great HO tracks with layouts that accommodate SCHOR style magnet racing.  This  latest one is actually the second track that Scott has made for veteran SCHOR racer Mike Low.  This very clever 70 foot long, 4 lane, 5'x15' HO "Hillclimb" track will soon find it's place on SCHOR's racing calendar, and we'll soon be running Modified, Super Stock, and Hardbody on this bad boy.  A big thanks to Mike and Scott for giving us all something really cool to look forward to.
