H.O.R.O. HO Racers of Oregon was established in the early 1980's and ran races through the 80's. Here are some of the original members; L - R, "Big Al" Blanchard, Larry Cockerham, Bill Bostic, Glenn Heath, Kerrie Skinner, Bart Currie, and Dave Smith. Kerrie was the first HORO Point Series Champion, as well as the first NASTE Point Series Champion.

Greg brought some great cars to sell!
I'm a sucker for "Greenman" slot car ART! I lightened my wallet a little.
Greg had something that appealed to everyone!

Odd Thursday on August 29th. 13 racers made it out to Fairview despite the extreme evening humidity. We first raced the Classic Sports Car Class where Greg "Greenman" Petrolati posted the win. In the GT Class Gary "Goose" Gossett killed the field with his Mr. Slotcar Mazda (no more magnet cars for you Goose!). After we had finished abusing the sports cars and GT's, Chris Kouba brought out his 1/24 scale BRM Porsche 962's for a little IROC action. Rico Locati won that race edging out "Goose" by 3/4 of a lap. All in all it was great fun last night! Thank you all for making it out!

Yes, the one I got from you!
Thank you Howie for completing this for me!!! -------------------Bill
It seems we have enough interest in these cars to take this someplace now.
I agree Monte, probably two classes. How many cars fit into the class represented by Scalextric Legends F1 Set? "Goose" has a couple of these cars re-motored and dialed in. It looks to me the two in Rico's photo would qualify?
The repair held up and worked fine. I switched to a Ninco Porsche 997 for racing at Penguin Point as it seemed to be a superior handling car (again after rear end modifications, limited to bracing).
As far as the trashing goes, the Flood's were the clear winners there! They were heads down and elbows up for the entire day! Nice work guys!
So, for the next workshop we have Monte screwin', Bryan checkin' Monte, and Tracy watchin" ? I'm not sure I'm OK with that!
I'm so glad we didn't have any "plumbing" problems after eating my burgers and dogs!!!! ------------------------Bill
I'd like to thank everyone who made it out to the BBQ yesterday! We had a great turn out of 27 people and 2 little kids. There were new and current racers as well as racers from the past. We ate hamburgers and hot dogs and potato salad and coleslaw and beans and cake and cookies and candy until we were stuffed!
I do apologize for not being better prepared for the workshop. I think we need to plan some workshops for next season, with the focus on car building alone. It was obvious we needed at least two thrash tables!
The buy/sell/trade area seemed to be a hit as well (thanks Dennis for the suggestion!).
Thanks June and Dorothy for all your help and food contributions!
All in all I think it went pretty well, and I had a great time, and really enjoyed the company of all my friends! --------------------Bill
Yeah!
I sold the set I originally had on Ebay. Now I'll have a used pair I can feel fine about running!!!
7:20am - Well, today's the day! Haven't done this for a few years!
I've got tools and equipment out and ready for the morning workshop.
Got burgers and hot dogs awaiting the grill.
And of course the track is ready to go!
I'm ready anytime y'all are! ---------------------Bill
COOL!!!
We'll make room!!!
How large do you need?????
I have lots of driveway space too..............
One of the NASTE racers suggested having a buy/sell/swap table set up.
Sounds like a good idea to me, so I'll have a table set up for that if anyone wants to bring out some stuff they'd like to part with. (I know I have SOME stuff to put out!).......
---------------------Bill
OH, the GOOD OLE DAYS!!!!!
Now that would be a You Tube scene now days!
That sounds like too much work.!...........but then I do have a SAWS-ALL!!!!!!!!!!
Diane would KILL me!!!!
On another note,.....the SKUNK is BACK!!!! He gave me the tail wag last night................
The dog thinks it's a cat...........
