  • Favor needed from the Legends....

    Hey Legends...I want to personally ask you to come to OSW this Friday night and race! As you know we had a very good program there at one point. The reason that we had a good program was because Robert Hart/OSW saw the potential in Legends and Bandolero's and made it happen! Love him or hate him Legend and Bandolero racing would not be where it is at had it not been for OSW and Robert...interest was down on Legends and he came in and rolled the dice! 7 years OSW was the mainstay of Legend and Bando racing. I think it would be a nice gesture if we showed him that we appreciate him keeping the program going and show up!

    Butch and Barbara have gone out on a limb with this purse and they are new...let's say...to Legends!

    Please come out and support this program this Friday!

    Don't forget...The Brighthouse Super Late deal is there also!

    Thanks in advance and GOOD LUCK!!!!

    You are right Rusty, the Legends put on some damn good racing at Orlando for years. Remember getting 20+ every week, and having hard battles at the front? Kory Abbott, Sam Watts, Jeremy Colangelo, Russ Thompson's son; man there were some aggressive drivers out there a few years ago.

      The bulk of the Legend drivers right now just cannot make it to OSW on Friday night... The same reason that many stock car folks won't travel from place like Tampa, Lakeland, Ocala, Tavares, Mulberry, etc. It's just such a hassle with traffic etc. Most of the younger drivers are in school and the dads/moms and Masters drivers work. Take Mark Bibeau for instance... He'd love to run at OSW but works in Lake Mary and lives in St. Cloud... It's 7PM before he gets HOME on a Friday... The reason the Legends had a good show was because it was on Saturday and the drivers had plenty of time to get there with fewer traffic hassles... Here's a hint... why not try a race for Legends and a few other classes on SUNDAY once a month? Actually PROMOTE the thing! You would be the only thing going on a Sunday other than TV races that nobody really cares about anymore...
      What the track is doing now ISN'T WORKING, so why not TRY SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

        Just spoke to the Speed B....aka Barbara on the phone...
        Legends will be ran later in the show and for those that can not make it on time...there will be the possibility of a practice session at intermission!

        The racing will be heats and features!!!!

        Trust me we all ...well most of us...know the perils of trying to make it to OSW on Friday!

        No Entry fee!!!!
        No pit slab fee!!!
        And...only $25 pit pass!!!!!

        BE THERE!!!!!!!!!

          The whole problem with legends at OSW now is we've always been a SAT night show, plain and simple not hard to figure out. Have always enjoyed racing there! Hopefully yesterdays rains will sink in by Fri so everybody can race on a Dry & Safe track.... The rainy season has not been kind to OSW in recent years !

            Dave, are you the same Dave that was the track announcer at Orlando a few years ago ? In one breath you sound like you want the track to succeed and then in the next sentence you sound like you will be thrilled if it closes. I hope you are not the same guy that could not keep his hand out of the cookie jar.

              They Started Running Legends At Osw On A Regular Friday Night... Still Had The Same Car Count As Saturday Night.. So There Are No Excuses Why You Guys Cant Come To Orlando And Race, Its Been Done Before. So Man Up And Race.
              Man up and race.

                  Why is it harder for Legend cars to get to the track than it is for anyone else? Everyone coming in from the west has to struggle through town. If they want to race, they will find a way to make it like all the other cars.

                    I think it may be a problem for more than just the legends. You know what the total car count is. Apparently they'd rather race elsewhere on a Saturday. Just guessing.

                      Legends and Bandoleros did originally run on Friday night and that was when Mark Martin's son ran with us. But they were there on Fridays. Then Rusty started the Saturday shows with the Bandoleros, Legends, and other small car tours and we had a ball. And we would have tons of little cars on Saturdays. And yes, sometimes they would race both Friday night and Saturdays. The Legends use to bring at least 20 cars with them and if you bothered to watch, put on a great show.

                      I might have been hard for them to get there sometimes on Friday, but alot of them did make it. I hope they have a good turnout this Friday for the 50 lapper, maybe Alex and I can make it and watch them. Just have to wait and see.
