Hey Chance,
 I know your bummed about not getting to race. But look at the up side.......
You don't have to use duct tape to put the numbers on!
Might also give you a little time for some final set up choices, etc...

 Your car is lookin' Great!!! 

 Be like a river......
Go With The Flow!!!!

Hi everyone,
My 7 year old son  and I have been racing go karts in Las Vegas for about 8 months and have been having so much fun that when I came across a great  legend/bando deal I had to buy them. my son won't be able to race until he is 8 but he is very excited already, I have not been able to wait so I am getting our feet wet this year at the bullring for a limited schedule. I have been learning a lot from everyone on this forum and I am very appreciative of all the information. Here is a link to our website that will do a better job of introducing my son and I than I can do with this post.

This is an awesome site and I hope that in the future I can contribute to help someone else.

Thanks

Hey Joe, welcome to Legends Racer... I also live in Vegas, I was supposed to be running at the Bullring this year, but we started a business and I had to put the car on hold. I go to every race, however, and have seen you run. It's funny, I almost bought that car that you have now. This is an excellent place for info and advice. So once again, welcome!!

Welcome Joe!!!

 Your site looks great!
Except for the pics of the wreck. 
Hope you get the repairs done quickly.

Best Of Luck to you both!

HI Joe,
I know in Legends, the minimum age is 14, but you can petition 600 to let you race at thirteen with documented previous racing experience...dont know if that applies to Bandos tho...just a thought

Thanks guys,

LunaticMark you will have to come by the pits one night and introduce yourself.

Steve, I had the car back together by the end of the week and raced it Saturday night. It wasn't as bad as it looked in the dark at the track that night.

VMS Motorsports, My son hasn't been racing long enough in karts to be able to run a Bando safely with the kids at the bullring, they are fast, we are working on his car control at the kart track and will be taking his bando out to some parking lots as he gets better over this year. I want him to have fun and not get scared before he even gets started. He is already pushing me to take it to a parking lot, Soon.

That is refreshing to hear, with so many parents pushing their kids, thinking they're the next little Gordon (Jeff, I suppose, not Robby  ), Its always good to meet a dad with his head on straight!

Good luck and HAVE FUN!

I for sure will come out there... what pit stall do you have?? Also, this is just a thought, but try asking Joe if you can bring the bando out on one of the school days and get practice in for your son... I go out there quite often and play with the school cars... Joe is still trying to get me into a Thunder Roadster though... lol. I don't know yet about that, I will have to test one before I make up my mind.

I don't have my own pit stall. I am usually at the east end of the first row ( back 40) Look for the 24' trailer on the blue/grey Chevy Silverado I dont have anything on my trailer yet but that will change soon. I did ask Joe and it is an insurance thing because of his age which I respect. Look forward to meeting you. I will be there this Friday and Saturday to ride along behind and get some seat time and experience (crash avoidance Training)

I got the opportunity to get out into the Bullring's "back 40" area of the pits and got meet Joe last night... Super nice guy, very down to earth and just an all around great racing guy. Helped him load his Legend into the trailer... he also had his 2 karts out in the pits. He's doing a great job on the track learning and getting the car set-up for him. It'll be great to watch him race... well at least until my car is here and ready, then I'll be sure to wave as I pass you... hahaha!!!

I dunno Joe, those Baby Grands looked like a lot of fun!!! Makes me almost want one!!!
