Hi everyone! My name is Colt, I'm 31 and I live in Athens, Ga. I have been reading posts and doing research on this site for at least a month or so. So I decided it was time I said hi and and thanks for the vast knowledge that is on this forum. I have learned so much from you guys!!
I am looking into maybe buying a legend car at some point in the "hopefully soon" future if finances allow.
Been a racing fan for many years but have never thought or considered that it might be something I could actually afford to do myself for fun. I have never raced anything competitively and I am by no means a " master mechanic", but I have been researching for a while to see if legends racing is something I could afford to do.
I have driven stock cars at driving schools and such and am planning to test drive a legend car at Atlanta Motor Speedway as soon as schedule will allow. Also looking forward to attending AMS "winter flurry series "over the next few months to learn as much as I can about what it takes to run and maintain one of these babies.
I do have a family and with our finances I would be pulling the car in a 7 x 12 open trailer behind the family Honda odyysey
Since Gresham Motorsports Park and Lanier National Speedway ( both tracks less than 20 miles from me) have both shut down, the closest Legends tracks to me are Atlanta Motor Speedway and Anderson Motor Speedway in SC. Both tracks that are over 80 miles from me.
I have no dreams of going beyond legends and probably wouldnt be able to run more than 10 to 15 races a year if that.
But to just own the car and have the opportunity to maintain it and race it is a thrill that I never thought would be possible for me.
Obviously still working out the details, but hopefully one day soon
Thanks everyone again for all the knowledge!
