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.

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.

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.

It was the day right before Father's Day, and there are a lot of Dad's in SCHOR.  Which is probably why we had the lightest turn out of racers in a real long time.  But there were six of us, and with some creative race programing on the computer we had just enough turn marshalls.  Mike has recently done some work on the HAMMER and the tracks rails are now very nicely dialed in.  So it was time to race!   We got on with our usual SCHOR brand of fast and furious HO slot racing, and it was filled with that usual SCHOR fun and laughter.

On this particular day we used a blended format for both Hardbody and Super Stock.  That meant that Darren and Mickey (both Ams) got thrown in to race with the old pros:  Mike, Oscar, Ed, and Morgan.  But just like at Le Mans, they were racing as Ams and we raced as Pros which gave us two separate sets of points and results from those events.

In the Hardbody race Morgan managed to fine a good set-up on his old Tomy Super G+ that put him out in front of the pros, and Darren Angelo had his Tomy Turbo SRT dailed in to take the win on the Amatuer side with Mickey Hurtado running a strong second.

In Super Stock Mike Low had his BSRT G3R completely hooked up and went on to dominate the pros. Once again Darren had the right stuff and took top points for the Ams, with Mickey Hurtado only 2 laps back in a strong second place.



It was then time for the speed.  Mike Low and Eddie Torres had quite a race long battle with Mike walking away in the last heat for a solid, fast win in Modified.

All and all, another Saturday of solid SCHOR racing.

Racing on the Riverside at Eddie's in Rancho Cucamoga is something that we always look forward to.  Ed has an amazing facility and always presents a great race program on one of HO Slot Racing's finest tracks.  But this time he took it another step further and he had the race catered!  Talk about spoiling some Slot-Heads....next time they'll be looking around for the dancing pole!

.............................

The St. Patricks Day SCHOR race of 2012 will long be remember as one of the wettest race days in SCHOR history.  Our race host Dan Cronin was as prepard as any good race host could be for the stormy weather, but the wind and rain was determined and we battled mother nature all day long.  In spite of the weather challenges we had a great turn-out which produced some great (slightly wet) HO racing.

.............................

It's been a long time comin' but we finally managed to get the 2012 SCHOR HO Racing season underway. There was a great turn-out of SCHOR racers, and our famous So Cal winter weather cooperated too.  This was the very first time that we have raced magnet cars on Mike's new twisty but fast "HO International" layout.  It proved to be a bit of a set-up challenge (lots of 7/25 gears and full brakes!) but in the end the racing was quick and fun.

................................................

The weather was perfect, the track was fast, and in spite of missing a lot of the regular SCHOR racers, the turn-out at Eddie's was still large and produced a day of great racing.  We held a total of 6 events, and even had an amateur race in Super Stock.  

The day started with Amateur (Rookie) Hardbody and that race was dominated by little Ryan Schartau a new young racer who's so short he has to stand on a milk crate to see the whole track.  Ryan drove his hardbody car like a pro and dominted the field for a wire to wire win in his first SCHOR race.    

Next up was Pro Hardbody:  Dan Cronin carried over his winning ways from last month's race to end up way out in front in the combined scoring for the two pro hardbody semis.

We moved on to Amateur Super Stock where Darrin Angelo just ran off from the rest of the field to clitch his first big win in SCHOR.

There were 14 entries in Pro Super Stock and it proved to be a serious fight just getting though the semis into the main.  Then the main turned out to be a hard fought battle between Morris, Dan, and All-Pro SCHOR racer. Ben "The Viper" Vasquez.  When the dust settle, once again it was Ben who emerged victorious.

We had a healthy and very fast field of 12 entries in Modified, where Gary Morgan showed everybody that he could not be caught with his G3R/T+ Hybrid car.  Ben was second running a fast Slottech, and Rick "Mr. T-Jet" Jocham was a solid 3rd with his Wizzard Storm.

11 entries in NEO meant there would be hard fought battles and durabilty struggles just to get through the semis and on to the main event.  When all of the dust settled at the end. There standing on the top step of the NEO podium for the First Time in his SCHOR career was no other than Eddie "The Snake" Torres!! Yes, Ed finally as the Europeans say: "Broke his Duck" in NEO and won it all.  Ben pushed him hard ending up second, and Rick had some smokin' early laps driving a fast Cronin prepared T1 to third.

We didn't see as many SCHOR racers as we had expected at Mike's first race, but those who came witness a lot of firsts and "new beginnings" in SCHOR.  1) This was the very first race on Mike Low's sweet, brand new, and very fast custom track that he calls "The Hammer".  2)  Mike also held the very 1st Annual "Race of Champions", which required drivers to run two different spec cars (a Super Stock, and a Hardbody) during the race.  3) One our newer SCHOR members, Dan "The Ace" Cronin more than showed up at Mike's, he made a strong showing in most of the racing and winning his first SCHOR races in both Pro Modified and the Race of Champions.

4) Morris won his first Pro Race with a super fast Super Stock G3R car.

5) Mike Low massaged his Life-Like Porsche to the very first win for that brand in Pro Hard body.

6) Darren got the gears right in his SRT and out ran the field in Amateur Hard body for his first win.

..........................................................................

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.

The threat of rain and the rescheduling of an NHRA event probably had something to do with it, but SCHORs first 2011 race in Southern California saw a lighter turn-out than usual.  However, the racing was still  just as fast and just as much fun as it always is.

Our November race finally happened on the first Saturday in December and SCHOR was able to end the 2010 race season with a great turn-out and some really close and fun racing. Rain threatened early in the day, but in the end, it was dry, cool, and we had some serious fun.

It was a long and strange Saturday, but in the end we all got through it.  The weather was clear, the track was fast, and the competition was stiff - as always.  Hardbody saw the new rookie, little Miles "Bobcat" Williams take over and crush the pros in Hardbody.  His dad JIm, followed in second place, with their very distant "cuzin" Oscar finishing up in 3rd.  I guess you could say it was a "family affair"- sort of.
