@@jreckn lol I am definitely no legend just a redneck from Gilbert that learned some great values from my mom and dad like treat others the way you wanna be treated if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. I was very lucky growing up not that mom and dad agreed with everything I did, but I am who I am. Thank you.
Love the video and content, keep it up. This RUclips channel will take off quicker than you think. Well said regarding your loyalty to your engine guy. Your authenticity to the sport and your craft shows. This is craftsmanship at its finest. Stay true!
Damn. The frustration is palpable. It hurts to hear you say “the worst year of your life”. We all want to see you win, and I have no doubt that day will come and it will be glorious. You are the OG people’s champ. 👊🏻
@@Chasing518 thank you man I guess I should have said it a little differently it’s the worst year of racing and the best year of my life love the support
@@shannoncampbell_unleashedI think we all understood what you were referring to about being the worst! Appreciate the honesty/emotion you were willing to show. Can’t get more real than that moment. Also cool to hear your reasoning behind staying with someone (engine builder) that’s been with you for awhile. Support those that support you.
Keep digging pal! You've always had a lot of heart in this sport. You'll get it figured out. And when you do the competition better be ready!!! You got a lot of people that support you. Keep these videos going too they're great!
@@Gravityfed777 I am definitely a small team, but I have lots of friends that are always willing to Linda hand and of course my wife she helps me quite often when she’s not working thank you
Catching up on videos, but the dedication and heart you have for this sport is inspiring. Cant wait to keep following along. Rig is awesome, and hope one day to be racing along side of you.
@@Break-itBilly well, thank you very much and yes, I hope to see Racing alongside me someday and I hope you’re enjoying the videos slowly getting a little better at it. Used to just do everything on Instagram but everybody kept wanting me to make a RUclips page so we did hope you enjoy.
Shannon you are Truly an inspiration. I cannot stress how much you mean to everyone in the community. Your passion and transparency is amazing. Thank you for your passion!!
Love these You Tube videos in the shop, Shannon! Thanks for letting me hang out in Gilbert at the shop several years ago one December. You’ll get it figured out and make some more chicken salad and be on the podium in 2025.
What a goat! Shit happens. You’ll get it sorted and be back! I’ve met you a few times once at hammers and once in Reno. Always a smile and willing to meet the fans. You are definitely a pioneer and legend of the sport! Keep your head up sir things will turn around.
Ultra 4 is brutal, and I know of some other driver who have had some heartbreaking issues yet keep pushing on. It’s cool you made a channel, to show the behind the scenes of your program.
You got this!! Awesome love standing behind people not throwing in the towel first sign of problems.problems what make it so we can figure out who we are working with !!!
Love seeing these videos. I hate seeing the struggles but it gives guys like me a real look into it all. You will never fully grasp the impact you have on the wheeling/ racing community. I remember reading Four Wheeler magazine when you won Top Truck. I was just a dumb little kid in elementary school obsessed with everything 4x4. Getting to meet you at King of the Hammers was meeting one of the biggest celebrities in the world even if we were both running to work on cars.
Understand the feeling hitting road block after road block, those moments are teachable moments. In my career of a commercial driver professional driver not in my vocabulary, after 25 yrs I’m still learning every day. In my line of work each road block I hit learned to stay focused find the solution to the answer and make sure to keep a mental note for the next adventure. You guys got this, stay determined and those W’s be coming in 🏁🏁🏁
The frustration is obvious and yeah it sucks. But I believe you when you say you are gonna figure it out. Your willingness to let fans see all sides, not just the wins, is why you will always have fans backing you up 🤙🏼.
Damn Shannon, sorry you are having so much troubles this year. The emotion you showed us heart breaking yet inspiring with the passion you have for this. You and the engine builder will figure this all out and you will build back and be even better
Well shhittt thats a bummer well you'll get it figured out man, wish i could come down and give you a hand.. keep up the good work digging the videos, keep us posted on what happens!
Damn, you don’t deserve this streak of bad luck! I just wanted to chime in and say I was stoked when you came out with your RUclips channel. I’ve been impressed with your skills since the mid-90’s with your BADASS leaf sprung Willy’s. As a welder/fabricator myself, I really enjoy your fab skills and know-how! Again, sorry for the string of bad luck bud.
@@justingustafson7964 well thank you very much. We will overcome this streak lol and we will try to come up with more fabrication content pretty much going to try and post whatever the hell it is I’m doing hope you enjoy.
The more failures you endure, the more you'll learn. Once you and your engine builder find a way to keep 'er going, you'll be back on top! Way to stick with someone that YOU like and respect, keep doing what's right and things will work out.
Shannon i have known you since i went to my first event with Paule and the Rock Runner Racing crew. If there is anyone i would put my $$$ on figuring this all out and coming out next year with a vengeance it is you. I have been in that same spot as you with racing and i was so tired of the stupid things taking me out it drove me nuts. We also had years when we were competing rock crawling when the smallest thing took us out and we just kept at it and finally got everything figured out. You got this i know you do.
@@johnrants8216 yes we will thank you thanks for watching. Hopefully I can get to some less stressful videos lol I know how to destroy shit and I know how to build it not much of a motor. I’m not a motor guy ha ha
I'll never forget the time I was working around the Scottsdale Airpark. I heard this crazy screaming engine noise coming from a shop somewhere in the area. Well curiosity got the best of me so I drove around the block and seen your trailer parked on the street. I knew it was your race car as I heard that same crazy scream like a banshee sound that I heard at the Parker 425 race earlier that year(this goes back 10-15 years ago). Nothing sounded like your rig. That was the years you were winning all your Ultra4 races. Hope you get this engine figured out! Fan from Fountain Hills.
I thought for sure you were going to find your lifting bracket as you put away the welder, just after you finished the new one :> Murphy has a sense of humor some times...
@@adamkieffer7583 no the O-ring on my dry brake where you fill it with gas came out of the groove and held the cap open didn’t notice it because it was dark when we fueled it and it fuel slush everywhere filled up the skid plate got a little bit of everywhere lol luckily I didn’t get burnt just put a little singe on my ride
@@neilkirkes yes it is very big, but it does have trap doors built around the pump. I did get a new oil pan that is the same size, but it moved the oil pump closer to the middle of the pan the engine is in their backwards and the pump was at the front of the car so moving it to the middle should help and it does have trap doors all around it
@@neilkirkes yes a dry up. I’ve never used them. It was always too many problems and take up more space. I’ve always had good luck just some learning issues with this big block and yes, it’s the first time I’ve got away from using a stock pan when we were using the LS motor, we used the 9 quart Camaro pan in the sump was in the middle. My cars weren’t designed for a dry sump system so packaging. It would be a disaster. I would want to start over
@@jeepnmello yes I usually don’t like working on dirty shit lol but when I wash it, I can never get it off. It’s coming completely apart easier to wash one piece at a time it’s going to get powder coated, and I was also in a hurry to get the motor to the builder
It sounds like you like what he does so dont get rid of him...just find a way to connect him at the hip with your engine tuner guy...best of luck man big fan of the big block car
Well I never turn down help from anyone. Love and appreciate anyone that wants to help. I don't have a lot of money, been working on the same budget from sponsors since 2005 which was very good back then but these days I spend more in a month than I did in a whole year, Takes so much work and it gobbles the bank account up real quick.I just try to do what my dad taught me "make chicken salad out of chicken shit" Thanks for following along, be sure to subscribe for all the updated content.
I hear you... loyalty to your motor builder. But really. How many have let go in a race.. is Bailey using same motor guy.. her motor died last year. And waylons motor died at the hammers.. hope you all aren't using the same guy...
The honesty and passion in this video is what makes Shannon Campbell a legend.

Thank you for that! Just trying to stay true and it's just me being me.
You’re the man!! Still my favorite racer and the reason why I built a 4400 rec wheeler. Keep your head up man!!! We need people like you in this sport
I appreciate that!

You will get it worked out, problems are always frustrating but it’s also a learning process.
Refreshing, Driver busting knuckles getting his machine ready to WIN! Thanks
@@americonoffroadadventures8132 I always try to work on my own stuff until it’s something I don’t know how to do then I get help, thank you!
Hang in there Shannon, your perseverance has probably played a big part in getting you where you are today.
It’s a very humbling experience watching you do all of this work without a big massive race team supporting you. It’s very impressive to follow you.
