Honda Talon wins Baja 1000!

[SLOWPOKE693]

I've been watching Jamie Campbell of Raceco USA for the last several months on FB build a privateer car for the Pro N/A UTV class for the 1000. They finished the car a few days before the race and only ran it 40 miles for a shakedown run and shock tuning with Wayne of Alltech Motorsports.

Not only did they win the Pro N/A class in their newly built and tested car, they beat every other UTV in the race finishing first overall!

The car...

Their post race FB report...

That is all.

Wow! I'd love to see the list of modified or non honda parts.

That was my thought as well, how much does that class have to share with an off the lot UTV?

Check out their FB page, they have been posting build pics and info since they started on it.

Car is pretty stock other than saftey/cage and suspension mods. As far as i know they even ran a stock motor with just a Team Alba tune.

Raceco built the front A-arms, trailing arms and front knuckles for the car and used a set of RCV 300m axle shafts. Still has the stock Honda CV joints F&R.

A ton more than what you are probably thinking.....

what did they do to the transmission to make it not be a pos?

That's the equivalent of winning the special Olympics.
