SCRRA Racing at BPR

SCHOR Racer and true Slot Car Legend - John "The Jet" Cukras is now running and racing in the SCRRA (Southern Califonia Retro Racing Association). This is some very cool slot racing that features slot cars based on the "Retro" designs from the hey-day of serious slot racing. Many of the great old slot racers of those early times have come back out and are building and racing again along with him. Check out SCRRA, you don't want to miss it.

The latest 24th scale Slot Car from John Cukras...

Cukra's - McLaren Can Am for D3

John Cukras and I were exchanging emails a few days ago, and right after we completed our discussions about HO slot cars he sent me these cool photos of his latest 24th scale creation that he built last Thursday.

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.
