H.O Racing Today

Hello everyone! This week Chase welcomes Mark Rosenwinkel to the podcast to discuss being elected as the first National Director of HOPRA from 1979-1982, the differences of being a National Director then and now, the transition to multiple racing classes from only one, the idea of a 50th anniversary HOPRA showcase at the 50th annual National Championships in 2024, the idea of a HOPRA Hall of Fame, a reunion of the Illinois HOPRA group he raced with, and personal life and life lessons he learned while being apart of the hobby he loves. After Chase gives a double COHORA recap of Charlie Benson's Stock T-Jet race held on February 15th, and Ron Lewis' 12 Volt race that took place yesterday.

Hello everyone! This week Chase gives a history lesson on the Aurora Super II and the story of how it went from a promising prototype to a disappointing production car, and how the car has gained a collector's status as one of the most sought after cars in the H.O hobby. He also goes on to recap on the COHORA race held at Eddie Ball's Full Bunny Raceway, and future insight into next week's race at Charlie's HOSlotCarRacer.com Speedway.
