A lot of readers have asked me about the slot cars that I build, and for a long time I've been meaning to add this link that can that take you directly to my EBAY STORE so that you can see - and even buy the many slot cars that I make.  I also build custom spec cars for serious racing or just something special you may want. But if you don't want to deal with eBay, you can also contact me directly at:hoparts@cox.net

RACERS & SLOTHEADS

The weather in Fullerton was excellent, and we had a great turn-out for the last SCHOR race of the year which featured some old familiar faces that we hadn't seen in a quite a while. That includes our host Eric Roos who had his Velocity Dome Bucktrax gleaming and ready for speed.  There was also Nelson Mark and Bill Katada, and there was Craig Correia who everyone was really happy to see out and racing.  Craig showed up big time and put a real whuppin' on the Pros in both Hardbody and Super Stock!!  Great times, great friends, fast and fun SCHOR racing!  It was a longer race day that usual that kind of reminded us of back in the old days in when we'd race deep into the night.

EL Cajon Raceway has closed...

ECR

Slot car tracks are a lot of fun when they're open!  But unfortunately, the one thing that you can eventually expect is that they will have to shut down.  El Cajon Raceway (ECR) has been around for few years as a 24th scale shop, and they only started racing HO in the middle of last year.  But unfortunately at the end of this past April they had to close. So as they say: "Another one bites the dust".  It was fun while it lasted, and Tim the owner had recently installed two very nice custom HO Tracks, but I guess it just wasn't meant to be.  So all I can say is when you come across a nice slot car shop you should enjoy it, appreciate it, and support it or it probably won't be around for very long.  Nobody expects to get rich running a slot car venue, they're usually doing it out of love of the hobby and a desire to create a solid steady "Racing Scene".  But rent, utilities, and insurance costs money, and unless a shop receives good support from racers, the chances are high that it won't be around very long.

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.

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'.
