Slowdog Racing and SRC Take Two Podiums at Chuckwalla

Quick update from the desert.

Drivers and crew, left to right: Chuck Hoops, Shawn Sampson, Marcelo Vine, Charlie Buzzetti.

This past weekend the Slowdog Racing #946 ran the Lucky Dog Racing League’s Wild Dawgs of Chuckwalla at Chuckwalla Valley Raceway, October 10–11. Four drivers, one car, no paid crew. We drove it, wrenched on it, fueled it, and did our own driver changes.

Saturday: 3rd. Sunday: 2nd.

The results are not really the story. SRC owner Shawn Sampson and Charlie Buzzetti of Slowdog Racing have been racing together, and against each other, for thirty years now. Pro RX-7s, Spec Miatas, and an E1 class overall win at the 2004 NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill. Thirty years on, they are still sharing a car.

We wrote the full weekend up on the SRC site, with photos from the paddock including the radio and intercom install that kept four drivers talking through eight hours of desert heat:
