The 2007 East Coast Fray Team: (Back L-R) John Smith, Tom Bowman, and Henry Harnish.
(front L-R) Bill Kurtz, Lewis Wuori

The "Four Horseman" otherwise known as team East Coast, minus Henry, all flew in on the same Continental flight to Oakland on Tuesday. 'Ol Henry was doing his VIP best and jetting in to Arcata on Thursday and missing the five hour drive up 101 in the rain that his teammates enjoyed. Job one is collect the rent-a-racer, cleverly disguised as a Chyrsler minivan...and zipping in to San Fran to find some good food. First stop was Fisherman's Wharf, where we did find a sour dough bread bakery with a multi star restaurant top side. After a great lunch, watching the newest inmates check in at Alcatraz, Eric Eberman called inviting us over to the SFHORA digs on the other side of the city. So Tom got the "Bullet" Minivan in gear and blasted up and over Telegraph Hill and proceeded to get lost. Eventually we found Eric standing on the sidewalk waving us in...

Here we see Eric showing Bill Kurtz the fabulous "Katz-Spa-Ring" undergoing restoration at the San Francisco HO Racing Association's headquarters. This great track was built by Brad Bowman and landscaped by Brad and Jason Boye for the biggest HO enthusiast I've ever had the privilege of knowing, Mr. Greg Katz. The track was in far better shape back in '03 when Team Wizzard visited Greg. That story is told on our 2003 Fray page. Unfortunately Greg past away, his house was sold and the track was cut apart to be put in storage. Now the Bay Area racers, lead by Eric Eberman, have put together a new home for the Katz-Spa-Ring, and bring the track back to life, memorializing Greg's Dream. It was hoped that the track would be running for our visit, but that was just a too ambitious goal for this year's Fray. Jason Boye is going to help restore the scenery, and the track itself should be functioning soon...with a 24 hour race being scheduled for May.

The massive front straight, realistic pit buildings...monorail still to be installed...

Another masterpiece from Bay Area artist, Jeff Hurley...The new beige and pink tracks below...
