Default An old man just having fun

First time at VIR and just tip-toeing around trying to learn the track.
Had a blast but us old guys are just happy to be above ground.
I'm no threat on track but just try to be safe and steady.
The older I get the faster I was.
Sadly the session was blacked flagged due to an incident and cut short.
The Champion Motorsport build run totally ballz on.
Two days at VIR, over 100 laps, and NOTHING had to be done except refuel.

In all these years? Man, what a treat right!

Thanks for the post

Sweet.

Awesome sound, nice H/T, no over-driving drama. Glad to see that crazy beast of a build on the track Ranger and good to hear it was trouble free. Great stuff on all counts. Thanks for sharing.

Good on you Juan, glad to see you enjoying the pumpkin and the Champion build is running good and strong as expected- sounds awesome!

Nice to see you running to the curbs in places and i'm sure your youthful speed will now be swapped by mature skill as you get your hand back in.

More cameras next time, rear view, front view and view of driver then get one of your boys to edit it all together into on screen...

Cheers
Jay

Jay my friend the engine runs like OEM. Champion Motorsport destroyed the bar level on this one. The engine has never been an issue from the get go.
It was the clutch/PP and tranny due to that POS SQS shifter.
Acquired the CAE shifter and all was perfect. This is the BEST built/craftsmanship shifter, period end!

As for me, well as an old guy, I truly enjoy a delicious woman and great a car but that doesn't mean I can do much with them.
Guess I'll need to put some Viagra in the fuel tank.

There are videos from roof and in car cam. Champion Motorsport has them.
All kidding aside, you guys have no idea to what levels Champion Motorsport went to make this a bullet-proof engine build.
I have held back on info b/c I want to leave it to them to release what they want.

To the question about what exhaust utilized ... well I will apologized to others BUT the system used is the best ... M&M. Currently this is still in development as the engine build thrives. When the engine was being built Tilo Koch chief engineer of M&M (Germany) came to Champion Motorsport to discuss the exhaust design and build. Now that's fvkin customer serves.

M&M are certainly proving you right

Really looking forward to seeing what Tom and the guys from Champion have to say on their joint venture with The Ranger.

My build will start post Christmas so a bit of time to plan... don't supose Tom has through about a new shop in Perth Australia??
