NEXT SCHOR RACE...

SCHOR RACERS & SLOTHEADS

Just like the weather, the scheduling of slot races is not an exact science.  We are still racing this month, but due to circumstances beyond anyone's control we won't be at Eric's.  Instead will be back at Eddie's in Rancho Cucamonga - which means everybody gets a "Second Shot" at racing on the big Riverside track!

SCHOR: KATZ-SPA-RING - 6 Hour Enduro Results...

The SCHOR 6 Hour Super Stock Team Enduro on the World Famous "Katz-Spa-Ring" was a rousing success! We had a total of 18 racers divided into 4 Teams, and we raced four 90 minute segments. The Viper V1 cars were fast, reliable, and handled great for the entire race. The racing was fast and close for much of the race with several lead changes and a close fight for third place near the end.  Brad told us that this was the fastest race ever run on the Katz-Spa-Ring and that the track record for one lap is now *8.349 secs.

SCHOR 2014 Race #6 at Eddie's place

RACERS and SLOTHEADS

The weather in So Cal is finally showing signs of cooling off, but things are really heating up in the So Cal HO Slot racing scene.  That's because it's October and which means FAST and FURIOUS RACING ON THE RIVERSIDE BUCKTRAX.  Yep, we'll be back at it again at Eddie's this coming Saturday.  As most of you know, the Riverside is the fastest HO Slot track that we have in So Cal (maybe in the world), producing times in NEO as low as 1.4 seconds per lap over a 65 foot Road Course (not a Drag Strip).  This is the place to let it all hang out!. Races are fast in all classes, and Eddie Torres always lays out the "HO red carpet" (okay, soft gray track mats) welcoming slot racers from far and wide.  If you're lookin' for braggin' rights, then these are the kind of classic HO races you want to win.  So break out your good stuff and let's get crackin'.

A few minutes of video from the SCHOR 2014 Super Stock Main Event at the all new HO Slot Car Speed Shop in San Diego.  Finalist are Ben "The Viper" Vasquez, Eddie "The Snake" Torres, "Fast Phil" Walleck, and Gary "Too Fast" Morgan.

The new HO SLOT CAR SPEED SHOP in San Diego

Morgan's HO Slot Car Speed Shop

aka: Kensington Speedway - Again!

HO Racing is finally back in San Diego!  There hasn't been a place to race HO slot cars with a high quaility track in for 17 years, but it has now return with this cozy little shop.  Gary Morgan last had the "Kensington Speedway" back in 1997.  Now fast-forward to 2014 and he's opened his "HO SLOT CAR SPEED SHOP" on the east end of Mission Valley not far from Qualcomm stadium.  It features a super-fast, custom, Cronin built "BP-1 Engleman" track with TrakMate timing.   The new Speed Shop is all about fast, fun, high-quaility HO racing.  Morgan builds custom slot cars, offers advise, and carries lots of high performance HO cars and HO racing parts.  But what the Speed Shop is really all about is racing, racing, and more HO racing.

Oscar "Big O" Morales - R.I.P.

It is with great sadness that I bring this news.  Our longtime SCHOR racing buddy, Oscar Morales aka: "Big O" and "Bugman" passed away at his home this past Wednesday evening.  Oscar was a true character, a little gruff on the outside, but a genuine friend and a truly nice and very funny man. He grew up slot racing in L.A. and could talk for hours about the cars, tracks, racers and history of both the HO and 24th scale So Cal slot car scene.  He was at the "Big Shot" race just two weeks ago laughing, racing, and having a good time. SCHOR and all of slot racing just won't be the same without him.

RACE RESULTS: BIG SHOT 2 at Buena Park Raceway

If you didn't make it to Mike Low's Big Shot 2 Shootout at Buena Park Raceway last week, then you missed some real fun and fast racing on Mike's AMAZING and all new Brad Bowman built HO track.  It was designed so that it could be placed on top of the 24th scale flat track at BPR.  Here are the results and some pics (for those of you not on the Slotblog). It was a long race day but we definitely had a good time, and I can't wait to race on the BP2 Bowman track again.  A big thank you to Mike Low for putting on such a cool event.

Mike's new and Amazing HO Track 

 

The ironmen (raced every race): Gary Morgan, Glenn Gordon, Dale Yamashita, Mark McVittie, Francis McEntee
Most podiums: Dan Cronin (2), Rick Jocham (2), Gary Morgan (2), Glenn Gordon (2)

The BIG SHOT 2 SHOOT-OUT is coming...

As the Summer begins to wind down... it will soon be time to start thinking once again about HO Slot Racing.  The last SCHOR race was at Ben and Benito's in June, but soon we'll be able to get back to some real serious racing next month (only 2 weeks away) at Mike Low's BIG SHOT 2 SHOOTOUT.   This will be his 2nd annual race at Buena Park Raceway in Buena Park, CA. 

Yep, Mike is back at it - and he pulls out all the stops for his Big Shot races.  They'll be race plaques  (see photo) for podium finishers, and he's even bringing in a brand new 90 foot custom Brad Bowman track (see below) for us to race on.  This years Big Shot Shootout will happen over 2 days, Friday and Saturday September 6th and 7th.   This year, Friday will be for PRACTICE ONLY.  That means that ALL OF THE RACES WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY.  Also, this year Mike is only having 4 race classes:  

SCHOR Super Stock

SCHOR Pro Modified

Fray T-jets 

Gravity Cars 

You might even win a Podium Plaque

Start gettin' ready, cause It's gonna be a good time that 
you won't want to miss.  

SCHOR 2013 TEAM ENDURO at Eric's

SCHOR 2013 TEAM ENDURO

SCHOR's annual 4 hour TEAM ENDURO at Eric Roos' place was a really great event! We had a very nice turn out that even included a couple of "Wild and Crazy guys" from the old-SCHOR days. Everybody had a really good time and the racing was top notch and amazingly close. We used quailifying to determine teams, and then handed out the "Gary Beedle prepped" and Jim Williams painted G3Rs and started racing. After 4 full hours of racing only 6 laps separated 1st and 2nd place. The real stars of the show were the BSRT 901 cars due to their incredible performance and reliability.
