My pal Bruce (with the green race Mini), has fairly regular e-mail exchanges with Oscar Koveleski.

Anyway, Oscar sent him this link today...if you haven't seen it, it's pretty neat.

Nial,

I tried to find the status of Oscar - no luck.
That guy's a legend!Update?
I bought a relay (met him in person)from AutoWorld
in 1979.I guess that the business has been shut down
for years.used to spen hours looking through those
catalogs (& I even bought some things!).PRDA Lives!

Doug:

Oscar is now involved in this:

https://kidracer.com/

He also had (or has) a hobby shop is the Scranton PA area.
My pal Bruce is a slot-car racer (as well as racing ~His Mini~ ) and he's gotten slot cars from Oscar in the past. Bruce has an excellent layout of "Spa" in his basement. We have great fun drinking and driving at the same time!

Oscar also sells a lot of old races on DVD from the site above.
Bruce just bought one. I think you have to e-mail Oscar to get info on the DVDs.
