You may or may not have heard of Legends Car racing. It is a bite size car which
offers a huge impact. The series originated in the states but has been over here
for a number of years, thrilling spectators and participants at the same time.
With their 1250cc motorbike engines, purpose built racing chassis and one make
tyre, which is standard across the series. It boils down to one thing, the
Driver. The cars hit 0 -60mph in just over 3 seconds. Each round has 3 races, 2
heats and a final. The grids for the first heat are determined by a ball draw
with the following heat a reverse of the first, the grid for the final is
determined by the points scored in the 2 heats, with the highest point’s scorer
starting at the back. With around 15 rounds in a season there is a massive total
of 45 races, so consistency is key. These pocket Rockets, as they are
affectionately known, are built and raced to entertain and that is exactly what
they do. More information on the cars can be found at the following web
addresses;

‘I would like to thank my sponsors in 2009, for helping me achieve my dream of
becoming 2009 CHAMPION. I would also like to thank my team and brothers
at Burnett Motorsport for giving me a title worthy car and the support at every
round. Last but definitely not least my family, who I have dragged all across
the country, but they have supported me through the good and bad and never
moaned (not much anyway!!!) without all of you it wouldn’t have been possible,
many many thanks’
