The legends forums are pretty much limited to Legends Cars. There are a few thoughts that were thrown around between Shaun (Pegalis) and I about the Busa engine and Wilwood dics in the old threads. I think I still have some of his thoughts in some emails. Would be more than happy to share those and my thoughts via emails. The LegendsRacer forum is geared towards working within the current Legends Car Rules.

Hill climbs look like fun (except for Pikes Peak).  When they show that on TV I get nervous just watching.   :o

Welcome to the site.  Some of the road race folks on here might have advice that would carry over to hill climbing.

I have this fear of falling off of thousand foot cliffs.  Seems like it would hurt.  :)

I haven't experienced it yet, but I'm sure smashing through trees at speed isn't to fun either.

I've known a few that have crashed on our hills in one form or another.. The most recent in my memory was a Nissan 350z fully track prepped BIG $$$$$ car, going off the hill BACKWARDS at the finish line, at full speed striking quite a few trees a good 20-30' off the ground and a barrel roll or two until coming to a rest completely and insanely demolished. That was two years ago now... Last I heard, the driver was still in the process of recovery.. (haven't had an update in a while)

We've had some serious, serious injuries, and a few fatalities... but, it's all part of the sport I guess. You could break your neck getting out of bed, doesn't mean ya have to stay in it!

If you'd like, or anyone would.. I'll dig through Youtube and find some wrecks of the hills I've personally been on.. I've come close to wrecking a few times, but haven't got bit yet (being the key word)

Try to keep things that way!
We have had a few members with some pretty nasty wrecks. Some are still recovering years later.

It makes me appreciate roll bars, retaining walls, and level tracks.  Seeing the semis do the Pikes Peak hill climb on ESPN has to be one of the craziest things I have seen on TV.  Then again, I guess that would be second behind motorcycle demo derby.    :o

Thank you, thank you!

So many of you seem to have been into racing for generations! This is our first instroduction. So, you can imaging that our days are full of working on the car (Kevin and Ted), finding and ordering safety gear (Kathy), and looking forward to what arrives in the mail, and the start of practice. It does a mom's heart good to see her son walking around in his fire suit & helmet, practicing getting in & out of the car, working side-by-side with his dad. We are excited! (and nervous)

Regards,
Kathy

I'm sure that everyone here on the site is excited for you all. Really looking forward to Ted's first race and his thoughts on the Bando vs the karts.

Best Wishes!
