Where do I start....Well my son has been racing flattrack motorcycles since he was around 5. He is now 16. He was very competitive at our local tracks, and won several class championships. I decided that it was getting a little too scary, regarding the injury rate. My uncle has been involved with the Legends series for quite some time, and has wanted us too buy a legends car for quite a while. So here we are!! We are really enjoying the racing and learning curve. We only have two races under our belts, in Holland, New York. He did race 3 times, in North Carolina, after the first race wreck at Holland Speedway!! We are getting as much seat time this year as possible. We are looking forward to a full race season next year, where we will have an entire year to set goals and work towards those goals.

Might as well be polite and finally give an intro, huh? 
I'm Jon Bell.  Raced at our local track in Senoia, GA off and on for 15 years - 'til my son Phillip started running Bandos.  Couldn't afford two cars - so guess who got to keep his!!!  We've run a lot of different tracks always preferring to add to our collection of tracks rather than points.  Had a lot of fun and a lot of heartbreaks in 9 years.  Phillip is a very gifted wrench ('course I wouldn't be biased now would I?).  He has stuck to a goal since he was 9: "One of these days I'm gonna sit on top of one of those pit boxes, making the calls."  He has crewed on a variety of stockcars from my old Pintos to traveling Late Models and now ARCA.  We race his Legend on off weeks.  And I have a blast watching it all!  Seeing him go "over the wall" at Springfield where they won was as big a thrill to dad as the win at SCS the week before.

Hi Jon,
 Sounds like Phillip has a plan. Not often do most of us have a plan at such a young age. My wife says I'm still clueless! :o Wonder what she means by that? ???
Anyway, It is fun to watch them grow up and be a part of their lives.
 Congrats!!!
 Best Wishes to you both!

My name is Jeremy Coulter and I am from Ottawa, ON, Canada.  I just purchased the number 28 1934 Ford Sedan from Frank Johnston and Brassil Creek Racing.  My Fiance and I took the racing school and when we were done Frank said "you are fast. When are you buying a car". lol.  So I bought one of his school cars.  I am sure some of you on here know Dwight Pilgram and it was an honour to watch him race my car the week before I bought it.  he really knows his stuff. 
As far as racing goes I have run 4 times at my local track and travelled twice to an out of town track.  We had our first wreck on the weekend.  it was very exciting  ;D.  I was actully running in second place with some very seasoned veterans when 3 of us got into a spin in between turn 1 and 2.  I am having so much fun racing Legneds and I am looking forward to tearing my car apart this winter and putting it back together.

well it was a gentle wreck.  Just  a front right spindle and a shock mount in the rear housing.  I could not believe how well I was doing either.  The car was hooked up and I was quick and smooth.  The guy who took me out is going for track champion too.  I figured that was good for a rookie.  But it is so much fun seeing how much better you get each week as a driver once you start to get used to the car.  When I took the school Frank Johnston said to get at least 50 racing laps in before you start changing anything on the car.  he was right.  The car felt really loose for the first 2 races, and then i discovered a faster line on the track and the car is not as loose anymore.  I guess it all comes with experience but i am having a blast doing it.

Here goes:

CC57: Cowboy Carson  and most of my cars have been number #57. Except the Thunder Roadster I drive now.

A TR? What's he doing on this site? Learnng from y'all about these 4-cylinder motors we run.   And I figure the TR is just a cousin of the Legends,right?

Anyway, I'm down here in Texas. Used to race dirt (Street Stock, Limted Modified, Late Model Stock Car) before going to the "dark side"- asphalt. And I love it! Racing on asphalt seems to be much cleaner (no pun intended) as they're certainly does't seem to be as much beating and banging going on.

Additionally, I like driving these cars. I refer to them as short track/Saturday night IROC racing: same engines, same shocks, same wheel offsets, etc. It's driver setup and driver versus driver setup and driver. And I don't run as m,uch a rsik of being out walleted to the finish line. Now if I can just get her set up (and learn how to drive her) it would be that much better. But I'm getting there.

Thanks and talk to y'all soon.

Hey all,
My name is Louie Robinett and I am an INEX certified Tech man at Huntsville Speedway. I have never raced a Legends or Bandolero car, but I have been in racing since 1965 in one form or another, drove everything from Quarter Midgets to Late Models, and retired as a driver in 1996. I really enjoy working with the Legends and Bando programs and have made a lot of new friends.
Everyone is invited to run at Huntsville, it is a really great track for the Legends and Bandos. For more info visit www.huntsvillespeedway.com. Also check out our current Winter series, next race is this Saturday Oct.13th, 2007.

My name is Kyle Daughtery and I've been racing for two years. In karting is where I started but racing has always been around me and in my life. My dad and uncle also started in karting and once raced a legend at the Speedrome on the east side of Indianapolis. I am looking to get into the legends scene once I sell all of my karting chassis' and everything along with it. I don't know a whole lot about these cars but with my teams help and my grandad backing me I'll learn what I need to.  Oh yea....feel free to let me know anything you want haha.
