Hello guys,

we had an absolutely thrilling week-end. Here is one lap in the race at Le Mans: http://www.olympia-charger.com/2006/07/one_hot_lap_of_.html

We finished 34th overall, leaving a whole bunch of 911s, Pantera's and even a few prototypes eating our dust

[MassCharger73]

Great video ! I would love to have seen the faces of the Porche drivers as you pounded past them on those long straights.

[docford]

oh yes ! One of them came to our pits, stood in front of the Charger and just said "What the hell is this ?"

We now had a chance to test our "scenic" Oly Express in France! You can see pictures and videos here http://www.olympia-charger.com

It was the first time since 1976 that a Dodge Charger in OLYMPIA livery lapped a racetrack in France! Cheers 

Cool video!

OK, here is the full story: there are 2 Oly Express Chargers. One is a real NASCAR racer with a Ray Barton built HEMI and the other one is a street going look-alike with a 400 wedge built by Don Dulmage. Now you can check here http://www.olympia-charger.com/2006/07/dolmetsch_built.html and here http://www.olympia-charger.com/2006/07/saturday_7_am_h.html to find out what is different about the two

The Oly Express Dodge Charger just completed its Monza vintage race. We qualified 32nd in a field of 37 and finished 19th overall.
