Hi!
I'm  G. Brian Metcalf

I just finished what you might call my first season with my legends car. I only really raced it once, but that once was an awsome race....I qualified for the nationals. I'd like to tell you it was because I was in the thick of battle with a bunch of cars,  but truth is I only had to beat one other racer in the "masters" divison and he dropped out with brake trouble. I took 2 more laps and pulled in the pits because I thought my engine temp was high.

I'm from the north east, Corning, NY and I will be racing at Chemung speedrome (asphalt) and maybe five mile point (dirt) in 2008.

I have one sponser......Me............I own a hot dog cart that I sell dogs and chili from.  I call it... IT'S CHILI OUT.
 
A few hours on a street corner selling chili and dogs can help me race I'm all for it!
Soo if you are out in the Corning area and you see a old guy selling chili on the street corner stop and say "HI" I'll sell you some of the best chili you've ever had, and you will be supporting local Legends racing.

Steve;
I didn't make it to the Nationals, I didn't sell enough chili.......
Really my dad became ill and didn't want to be away.
There will be another time when I'll go.

Brian

Shameless plugs is how I can sell chili....
That reminds me! I have to work on the web page....

Hi!  My name is Mike Madore #57.  I'm 48, and just started racing this summer.  Next season will be my first in a Legend.

I bought a 34 Ford sedan from Paul DeJong at the end of the season.  She is a fast car with a good setup. 

Jeremy Coulter introduced me to this sites.  Thanks Jeremy! 

I'd been running a little old Hyundai Accent at Capital City Speedway in Stittsville, Ontario for the last 5 races of the season.  We called it "The Little White Wonder"  It should never have lasted beyond one race.  It has 358,000 original Kilometers on it, and I've done nothing to the engine other than change timing belts every 120,00 Kilometers. 

My wife, brother and I all took a driving course from Frank Johnston's Brassil Creek Racing school.  Frank is a great instructor, and we had a great day at his school.  One day in the seat of a legends car was enough to hook me for life.javascript:void(0);  These cars are an absolute dream to race.  Of course, I was sold on them as soon as I saw them.  They are like a blast from the past for me.  I had cousins racing full size cars that looked just like these back in the late sixties.

Buying a race car after the season is over is like enrolling in a long term torture program.  Do you have any idea how many days until racing season starts up again here? ...  152 until our test and tune day!...   The waiting is so painful.  I'll have to live on this site and others while I wait.javascript:void(0);

Mike

My name is Brian Backes and I am from Bismarck, North Dakota.  I am 49 years old and just finished up my 2nd season of  Legends racing.  I have wanted to race for as long as I can remember but never had the opportunity, or cash to give it a try.  2 years ago I purchased a new Legends car and became a participant instead of a fan sitting in the stands.  What a blast!   We have 5 dirt tracks in a 125 mile radius where we get to race somewhere around 40 nights a year so I can pretty much get my fill of racing.  I just wish we could get in 40 or so nights during the whole year instead of just the summer months.   We get almost too much racing and then a long spell of "wishing I was racing".  Check out my web site at www.backesracing.com.
