 What
are US Legends Race Cars?
It was in April of 1992 that the first Legends Car
was unveiled at the Lowe's Motor Speedway. The concept
of creating a fun and affordable "spec"
class of racing for anyone to participate in was born.
President and General Manager of LMS, H.A.
"Humpy" Wheeler and Elliott Forbes-Robinson,
famed road racing champion, designed these 5/8-scale
fiberglass full-fendered versions of the famed NASCAR
modifieds driven by legendary drivers such as Fireball
Roberts, Buck Baker, Curtis Turner, Speedy Thompson
and Banjo Matthews.
Since that time, the Legends Cars have become one
of the fastest growing segments of motorsports today.
With drivers being classified into four different
divisions, Legends Cars is THE racing opportunity that
is available to anyone! The Pro Division is for the
experienced drivers. The Masters Division features
drivers 40 years and older. The Semi-Pro Division is
the novice class, featuring the drivers that are new
to the sport or have been inactive in other forms of
racing for a while. Then there is the Young Lions
Division which is designated for the drivers between
the ages of 12 and 16. Since the car stays the same
from division to division, it is the driver that makes
the difference!
There are five (5) Legends body styles as these
pictures demonstrate ...
