SCHOR RACE #6 RESULTS...

THE HEADLINES...
Father's day weekend

Paul Katada squeaks past Ben in Modified

Ben is dominant in Super Stock

Morgan wins big with a Tyco in Pro-Hardbody

Morris gets all the points in Rookie-Hardbody

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I guess Father's day weekend had something to do with it, cause we had the lowest turn-out of the year at Ben's last Saturday.  However, that did not stop the 7 of us who did show up, from having some very fast, fun and smokin' (literally) races.  Yeah, we could have had a Father's Day Barbeque with all the armatures that we smoked on Saturday.

Morris' brand new "Mini-Riverside" Custom Track

Every now and then a new guy comes along who decides that he's going to take his HO racing seriously. Well it looks like we've lucked up and found one those guys.  Weldon Morris, who has only been racing with SCHOR since January decided that it was time to take things to the next level.  So he got in touch with HO track builder Scott Dunlap and the two of them, along with assistance from HO track designer Ty Brittain, collaborated to come up with this very cool little 4 lane, continuous rail, custom-routed  4x12 foot "Riverside" ("Mini-Me") layout.   The track fits right in the living room of his apartment, and is primarily there for him to test and set-up his cars.  So rookies (and pros) look out!  Morris is getting ready to Rock and Roll.

John "The Jet" Cukras - SCHOR's "Legend"

The other day I came across this article on the Slot Car Museum website.  It's about The Legend himself, SCHOR's own - Mr. John Cukras.  A lot of racers (especially younger ones) don't realize it, but John "The Jet" Cukras, our SCHOR buddy who we race with all the time is a true legend in the overall slot car racing world.  Not only did he design the recently released and very popular Tomy/AFX MEGA-G car,  he also designed the original Aurora G-Plus car, and tons of other slotcar stuff.  But he is even more famous in the 24th scale world for kickin' serious butt "back in the day" on slot tracks nationwide.  And for his amazing hand-built chassis and the signature Mura Motors that he developed.
