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.
