Im William Lochner and I race sprint karts right now about 15 minutes north of Texas Motor Speedway. I started racing last April the week after the Cup race at TMS. I love kart racing but have wanted to race legend cars ever since they were introduced in the 90's. My goal is to be racing legend cars either within the next year or soon after graduating college (Im in the middle of college right now). I love racing and thats all I have ever wanted to do since I was a tiny kid and loving that I finally got my start.

One thing I am really wanting to know is cost compared to clone sprint kart racing. I saw one thread about the cost to run these cars but didnt get much of a grasp of the cost. I know the cost to get in is expensive, around $10k, but what does it cost for the season? I saw one figure of $3,757 or so, is that about what it is for the majority of everyone before the cost of crashes? I have millions of questions but will spend the next few days/weeks reading through the forum to see what I can learn before throwing questions out there :)

Hopefully I'll be racing against some of you guys soon!

Welcome aboard.
Feel free to ask away, lots of great guys with tons of knowledge on here.
I spent less than $1400 all last season (18 races), but never wrecked hard, so thats definately on the low end...hope I can do it again

Thats what I like to here!!  ;D Ive spent more than that in the cheapest kart racing class in only 10 club races and one national race. It sounds like Legend cars are inexpensive to race until you need a motor rebuild or crash. Is that an accurate assumption?

That sounds great having the comparison to the IMCAs and all of the dirt classes! I was given a little grief from a few guys in my kart class that used to race dirt cars but switched to karts after 20-30 years. I would have a Legends car right now if I could afford one right now, I cant afford to sell everything I own though. Soon though!! I think wanting to do this for about 15 years now is good enough justification to just go for it.... right?!?!? I do NOT want to be  a keyboard hero one bit!

Thanks for the welcome Gimpster and Steve!

I am going to try to make it a plan to hang out at TMS over the summer when I am not racing my kart so I can get to know the drivers there. I dont know how to get into the infield though to be around the real action in the pits. I know a few people down here in TX that might be able to help out with that though

We race there also. The #53 and The #08. The 08 won't be there this weekend and will return the following weekend if everything goes ok. The 53 may or may not show up. We race together and he will show if he can get someone to help out while we're gone. See ya'll on the 19th. Stop by and say hi.

Hey robert, I will absolutely stop by and say hi. Also if you need a hand saturday, just let me know (I'm a new guy, but I learn quick....just don't ask my wife that ::)) . I'm not racing yet as I still have several things to buy before I can get out on the track.
