ECHORR

East Coast HO Road Racing

Anniversary Race 2019

On a beautiful Summer weekend, ECHORR held it’s 14th Anniversary race at Durant Raceway in Fleetwood PA.  The gathering drew 10 to 18 racers, among them Chuck and Derek Shaeffer, who were there in 2005 when the club was founded.  Derek has never missed an Anniversary race!
 
Saturday was IROC day.  We raced 6 different sets of IROC cars on the Bowman Champion track.  Many different styles of cars from original Aurora Ferraris to custom made Zambonis. Needless to say, it was close fun racing all day.  We had time to practice for the Sunday Slip on Silicone class before the IROC races, during lunch and after he IROC races were completed.
 
Sunday the action started @ 10:30am with the qualifying for the bracket format.  These cars have come a long way in a short time.  Our times and lap totals are almost the same as our SS class cars.  The cars were really hooked up and the racing was nerve racking and close throughout the brackets.  The C and B mains were extremely tough.
 
Thanks to all the participants and all that help to keep this club running and fun for all.  Our philosophy is and always will be to help others get better and improve the club as a whole.

Camelback Raceway 09-15-19

Eight racers sojourned to the inaugural races at Camelback Park, including six from above the Mason-Dixon Line. In attendance were Henry Belfiore, Hiram Durant, Sam Johnson, Randy Haydt, Jim LeVan, Tom Wenner, Brian Sponagle, and myself.
 
With only eight racing, we were able to run four classes. Leading off was Slip-Ons Super Stock. Finishing order was:
 
1.     Hiram
2.     Herman
3.     Jim
4.     Randy
 
Nostalgia followed with Hiram again taking top honors.
 
1.     Hiram
2.     Herman
3.     Randy
4.     Brian
 
After breaking for pizza and salad in the shade outdoors we headed back down for Super Stock.  Hiram maintained his dominance by taking first yet again.
 
1.     Hiram
2.     Brian
3.     Randy
4.     Jim
 
Tom Wenner brought his newly minted set of Modifieds for an IROC race. The big news was that Hiram didn’t win. That honor went to Brian!
 
1.     Brian
2.     Jim
3.     Tom
4.     Randy
 
Congratulations to all of the winners and to Randy, the only racer who placed in all four races.
Thanks to all of those who came and helped me consecrate Camelback Park.  I look forward next year, when I hope to see more of you here. Special thanks to Hiram and Randy, who help me do the final install of the track and wiring and to Henry, who made three trips here to assist me with the tricky matter of putting up all of the walls on the elevated sections of track.
