We are now two weeks away from the biggest HO slot car race ever. HOPRA will be hosting it’s 50th “Golden Anniversary” annual national championship races from June 16-21 at the Bertram Conference Center in Aurora, OH. In addition to the seven Championship Class races, there will be six Support Class races and many special events. HOPRA founders, past national and state HOPRA champions, and all the elite modern-day competitors will come together for the truly once-in-a-lifetime extravaganza!
 
Don’t miss this one and wish you had made the effort when you had the chance. There will never be another 50th HOPRA Nationals! A comprehensive slide presentation spanning the complete history of HOPRA and the Nationals will run continuously all week. In conjunction with the racing, this year’s event will also feature a slot car collectors trade show and swap meet. There will be dedicated conference ballrooms for the pits, the six tracks, and the swap meet. All lodging, racing, special events, and a restaurant are all under one roof.
 
All information regarding the race is available on the HOPRA website:
 
50th HOPRA Nationals and Slot Car Extravaganza

 
See you in Aurora in two weeks!

Gents,

 

Does anyone know a place on the web where the results of the various classes have been posted?

i don't see them on HOPRA.net.

 

I was there, but had to leave on the Thursday morning.

 

A fine event, and it was sublime to see other folks who were also at that first HOPRA Nationals,

50 years ago, and many good pals I raced with in the years before.

 

Many thanks in advance,

They're posted on the HOPRA facebook page.

They might as well be posted on Mars.

 

Facebook doesn't like non-members.
