Legends / Bandoleros Canceled Indefinitely at OSW

[RSB]

WOW........I SAID WOW............

I know, he left out MINI STOCKS and HORNETS! Hate em. Sorry Boneman!

It's the right move. any class not bring in cars should be removed.I have a mod mini and blew the motor.instead of putting a motor in it for 4,000 bucks and run against 2 cars I'm going to strictly stock.its cheaper and more cars.way more fun! they should start paying strictly stocks I bet there would be 25 cars a week

OSW dropping the Saturday show which showcased the Legends and other traveling groups of cars started the demise... Dick Westfall, Russ Thomson and Rusty Marcus went the extra mile to put the Saturday deal together and, despite the fact it did not draw crowds (Dick & Rusty never had enough financial support from the home office to adequately promote it), it was usually the only FASCAR-sanctioned show each week that made money because the purses were either low or the classes ran for just trophies... We had as many as 30 Legend Cars for those programs... With the current crop of Legend Car teams, Friday just doesn't work since most of these folks are located from just West of Orlando to the Tampa area... The traffic situation and other factors have to be taken into account... If you remember, several Legend teams on those Saturday programs traveled from as far away as Ft. Myers, Dania, and Sarasota to race... The Legend car program at Auburndale has developed a new crop of drivers from the general Lakeland area and they really don't want to race anywhere else. Auburndale should thank their lucky stars they have the Legends because it's the only class really drawing a decent car count each week... Bronson Speedway has started a Legends class and what they want to do is similar to what Punta Gorda has been doing in SW Florida... bulid up their own program of Legends in North/North Central Florida and not have to rely on teams that want to "travel." The Legends are a cost-effective way to get into racing on a reasonable budget with a car that really requires little maintenance as long as you don't stuff it in the wall every week... I've always wondered why East Bay hasn't tried to start a class of Legends on the dirt there... The cars put on a good show on dirt and it probably wouldn't take long to get a strong class running there...

As far other classes with low counts like Mini Stock etc., the owner/promoter who decides to start up a class or two of cars using current automotive technology (not Strictly Stocks, but real racing cars) and finally abandon running cars that are basically 30 years old will be far ahead of the game when the crop of RWD and V-8 engines run out eventually... Run cars that younger fans can identify with and maybe the crowds will pick up. I wonder if any kid sitting in the stands has asked his dad "Did they have those Camaro things back when you were a kid?"

Yea dave now that is what i said!!!
Fun racing now that would be a new consept.

We got five mini stocks tonight. That's around a 66% increase in car count?

Amen on that. Take away there free to get in BS and get a weekly payout going!

[DPRacecars]

yall hate on a class that puts on one hell of a show with 3 cars.

[ss29]

I think legends are cool cars but have no no car count at speedworld.I have a Ministock but ill say the same...no car count.its going to be next to go if it don't pick up.only 5 cars for a 50 lapper not good

[Hired Gun]

D.P. your my buddy but i have to say three legands with 6 car gap between each is not a good show. Tim there were 6 Mod Minis last night, and they only went

[LEGENDS RCR]

Legends, Go Carts and these "mini cups" don't belong in the same program as real race cars. Good call Orlando!

Dammit, and all this time I thought we were really racin......... Guess i should step it on up to a hmmm strictly stock ?? LOL Just sayin.......

[LEGENDS RCR]

The Legends are a great class to watch, at tracks where they get a good field of them. Same for the champ karts with their crazy bump-drafting, and the Mini Cups.

It takes a talented driver to wheel a Legend around most tracks. If I owned a late model and were looking for a young driver, that is probably the division I'd watch the closest.

Thank You !!! We do have alot of talented young drivers and a few decent old farts..................

legend cars & drivers

give bronson speedway a look on face book. they are trying to build a legend car field.great track lots of fun to race there.

[dd38]

What if some of them don't do facebook??? Too much risk. Why don't they do something on here?

[openwm53]

I also

like the legends.....But you need cars to make a race. I would rather watch a fifteen car ANYTHING race than a 3 or 4 car late model race. If they could not get the cars then how could they keep scheduling them ? If i ran a legend and was close enouph i would be callin and checking other tracks.

dd you may be right but I just don't understand what the big risk on facebook is. You said its too easy for someone to get your info. Maybe you're right but what info are you talking about?? The only info I know of that I have on facebook is whatever I put on there. I DO have a mac computer and it recognizes acam and all thet crap, and won't even open it. But heck, thats everyplace.
