The hardest piece of racing in ChumpCar (video)

Well I am assuming it is, at least from what I have seen. :P 

 

The video is from March during the VIR 12 Hour. I was in the Huggins Racing car chasing Perry Genova in the Skidmark Racing car (once Ronald's Racers)

 

Perry, Chip and I used to be on Ronald's Racers together, Perry and Chip co-owned that car and I was the hired help. lol. Then Perry took a break and Chip and I moved onto racing with Huggy.

 

So Perry and I are good friends/adversaries, the first time we finally met each other on the track we had a gooooood time. (this is video of said occasion) Basically the last two hours of the race was the tale of me trying to get our lap back and then catch Perry. We battle for me getting back on the lead lap in the video, then over the next 1.5 hours I ran him down again to finish within 2 seconds at the end of 12 hours. It was quite the show!

 

 

And while I am at it here is some laps from the day, video includes the two team fast laps on the two clean laps that I think I got all day. Oh and that sign was a prank for a friend of mine who is an actress. She watches the live streams so it got a great reaction lol!

Yea, not to burst anyones egos, but I'm sure a lot of us have had moments where we thought that we had the "mostest bestest piece of racing EVA! in the history of racing".

 

Can't remember if the car owner got any video but me driving the Backwoods Mustang at Charlotte on the short-course slugging it out back and forth with a SRI e36 for 45 minutes was pretty darn sporty. Elbows up short track road course racing at its finest. Had a lot of complete strangers come up to myself and SRI after "just had to tell you how awesome that was to watch!" Makes ya feel all warm n fuzzy for putting on a show worthy of watching :)

Not going to burst my ego - I posted someone else's video. :)   The guy really impressed me with his tenacity.  I'm not sure I could have stood up after whipping the horse that hard for that long.

ONCE AGAIN, not my video.  But I think it belongs in this thread (check out how close he gets to the wall).  Read the notes on youtube to get more info on the clip - it is a good story

 

 

 

Pretty much one of the best drivers to run in Chump.    Pro level talent.
