Is there still going to be an Ohio Challenge Cup series this year since the passing of BEAR?
Bear and I worked on a Dirt Modified Body for him to race this season, It is a laminated paper body ,I sent him samples and he said that everybody was interested in this body for the new season.
Can somebody please direct me to the person in charge of the Ohio Cup this year please?

Thank you very much,

Larry is right talk to Mr. Frank at Rt.93 . I raced at Bears and seen your modified body very nice Bear realy liked it. There was one of them in his casket along with my OCC GTP car. As far as OCC 2 races at Rt.93 2 at HMS in Bellevue and one at REM Brian Mc Pherson new place so I'm told . Good luck with that body very nice work. Jerry

[DirtyHairy]

[Mr. Frank]

HI YA DOIN ED!!! Frank her at RT.93.. Yes the OCC will be getting under way soon..
Dates will be posted real soon. I remember bear talking about those bodies. Have to get with you and see if you have those custom bodies for a 4.5 F C R. We do ALOT of oval racin here..GO FAST !!!! TURN LEFT !!!! or the one I like is....
TURNING RIGHT TO GO LEFT........



Mr. Frank.. RT. 93 RACEWAY

[Larry Mattingly]

Any photos of said bodies?

And, Mr. Frank, after they ran the 1:1 DIRT Mods on a road course in NJ, there is justification to run them on slot car road courses as well...

The NASCAR Whelen asphalt mods also just ran the Lime Rock bore course in CT...

Lots of laminated modifies available from numerous sources in both dirt and asphalt styles.

Jeez... you just might get me running the OCC with these babies...

[DirtyHairy]

but there on flexi chassis i didnt think you guys liked those

[Jerry Ward]

I would like to see the series run GT-1's Group 10 and one class of retro maybe Can-AM insteed of GTP. Something differn't for a change. Jerry

[DirtyHairy]

if it aint broke dont fix it.thats what Penn-Ohio is for......the dates scheduled will not conflict with O.C.C...... i beleive they will be anounced soon

[Larry Mattingly]

but there on flexi chassis i didnt think you guys liked those

You are correct, Sir.

All of these bodies are used on INLINE FCR chassis on the east coast.

Or, how about scratch built OFFSET inline chassis for the ovals...

OMG...

Hi Frank,
It was great talking to you tonight. We here @ S&E Motorsports strive to get the best products to Racers. :)We are the only person to do custom dirt modified bodies. We make them for H.O.'s & 1/32 Whomp / champion chassis 4" Flexi and 4 1/2" flexi and now 4 1/2" FCR and we make them for SCX chassis also.
We will put drivers names on the bodies and Raceway names. All of our bodies are custom designs. We use the best quality paper and laminate. Our bodies not only look good but they WORK.
You can checkout some of our bodies on our website:

Great talking to you,

[Steve H.]

Please add a wing class to the OCC, we need a faster class. Just a thought.

[DirtyHairy]

c'mon steve,,,,,,wing cars? if we put any more downforce on the cars its just .....punch,,lift,,punch,,lift,,punch,,blip,,punch down the chute.......we dont need anymore of a motor class than GTP i know you guys are some crazy motor builders but we got to keep some of it to driving ability

The formula has worked for how long? but if a change is made im suggesting the oval or ovals?????? but the first year without Bear , i think it should stay the same

[Jerry Ward]

if it aint broke dont fix it.thats what Penn-Ohio is for......the dates scheduled will not conflict with O.C.C...... i beleive they will be anounced soon

%^#*%$%^$# Penn Ohio !!! no HMS..............

[DirtyHairy]

Jerry, tell us how you really feel, but as far as i have ever known O.C.C. has always been a mash up of USRA classes....and P.O. is a good thing, regardless of the tracks involved.... i know that HMS was pretty much givin the boot but, lets keep this about the O.C.C. ,,,,,,and as much as i think Bear was into Retro,,,this is still a USRA based series.

[Jerry Ward]

Justin you brought up Penn-Ohio I didn't . Ya HMS got the boot after hosting a race for 2 years and I'm not happy that happened so I hope they have a great series and I don't want to here it was to far wasn't to far for 2 season's ! Occ is ok don't have a problem with that Bear had a good series just thought it would be nice to try a new class in it. GTP is cool maybe down the road they will try something else. Hay lets run snowmobiles or go karts !! Jerry

[Larry Mattingly]

%^#*%$%^$# Penn Ohio !!! no HMS..............

Jerry

With two major retro series in Ohio (ORS and P-O), the Penn-Ohio BoD decided to establish some rough territorial guidelines...

P-O will be roughly a triangle encompassing Pittsburgh, Erie, Cleveland and Akron/Canton... That will encompass at present... Washington, Rte. 66, North East, Bristolville, and Rte 93. also, REM and Mark Kitto's new operation in Canton, if they apply for a race.

HMS, Bear's former track and Fat Boy's (if it would have continued) and other Western Ohio tracks are a better fit for the ORS...

We attempted to keep driving distance for P-O competitors within a reasonable distance.

[DirtyHairy]

im down with the go-karts,,,,,snow mobiles would be sick, but where to get those?

[One_Track_Mind]

JK makes snowmobiles...bodies,and I believe a seperate chassis to fit also? unless there just an F1 chassis?

[DirtyHairy]

seriously? anyone have a link?

LM Know what your saying Larry . With Brian cox closing and Bears place witch I don't think will ever reopen and no penn-ohio at HMS we have taken a big hit around here. ORS is 2 tracks now don't know if other tracks will be added in the furture but Kit has a nice place and tracks and there is a new place opened in Toledo WFO as well Jerry

[Mad Mexican]

Amigos,

Yes another OCC season will be here before we know it. With Route 93 of Akron, Ohio leading the charge, and returning back to OCC will be HMS of Bellevue, Ohio. Also with much delight two new tracks REM Raceway of Mentor, Ohio, and WFO of Toledo, Ohio. This season coming up will be dedicated to William "Bear" Overmyer and J&B Raceways with out them there would have not been a traveling series for Flexi's here in Ohio. When TRRS folded a couple years back. It was Bear that may it his challenge to bring back a Traveling series back to Northern Ohio which is now know as Ohio Challenge Cup. NOW Mr. Frank has taken over the reigns of the OCC a special race in his honor in October will be on the schedule more details to follow. I hope there is no changes this year on the bodies because I already painted my GT1, Group 10, and GTP fleet for this year. This season will be weird not having Bear around great friend, mentor, and track owner. His presence will be greatly missed! But in his honor we will not let his dream die that is why we will RACE ON!


Adios

[Jerry Ward]

Right on Jay could not of said it better myself!! Anyone know when the OCC schedule may be out? Jerry

[Mr. Frank]

SOON JERRY; The dates will be posted here..


Mr. Frank

[Cobbler]
