Kirby Chambliss, one of two U.S. pilots competing in the Masters class of the Red Bull Air Race World Championships, scored a big win at the race in Budapest, Hungary, over the weekend. While Chambliss has seen great success at the races, with two world championships on the books, he had experienced a long dry spell having not stood at the podium since 2008. But he showed that he’s still got the right stuff in Budapest.
