NickHolt Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 James Huff and I are pleased that the series is growing about like we hoped it would. As most of you know, we're taking things one conservative step at a time, but the series is growing as more and more cars are coming down off the jack stands. Yesterday, for instance, we learned that the Villarreal race team from Corpus Christi has obtained two very well maintained Legacys from Randy Anderson's shop in the Houston area and will be entering both cars in races in 2015. And we're aware of several folks who are still "testing the waters" to make sure that we're serious about bringing back the Legacys from the brink of extinction. We also know of several Legacys that are for sale at this point: - Tom Harwell (San Antonio) has twin Legacys for sale. 210-710-4056. tom@direct-flo.com - Arden Vikre (San Marcos) has one for sale. Needs some body work. 512-393-4788. avikre@auatin.rr.com - James Huff has one for sale in Houston (He owns five Legacys in all and is willing to sell one). 281-831-0339. huffindustries@aol.com - Cody Kelly (Houston area) has two for sale. Former Legacy championship car and a backup. 832-519-6935 - Charles Evans (Houston area) has one for sale. with a brand new motor and backup motor. Lots of extra parts. 713-865-0027. charlesjr@evans-racing.com. Charles is the HMP 2014 Truck Champion. So far, this is what the 2015 line up looks like (our best guess at this point) 01 Allen Sampson 04 Dillon Sampson08 Memphis Villarreal 1 Del Harris5 Michael Radino10 Gabriel Fogg17 Boyd Bumbera19 Cole Runco23 Alexis Leone 24 Dale Ross32 James Huff48 Matt Yevcak 61 Cory Lovell 88 Matthew Villarreal ## Clifton Winkleman ## Lane Cherry ## James Lee (Has two Legacys, may drive one and sell the other) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted January 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Save a spot for us next year! Several really nice Legacys are sitting on jack stands around Texas from years gone by. We have gone back to the original Legacy rules, so those cars would be competitive pretty quickly. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer61 Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I gotta say, even though Allen Sampson made us look slow this weekend, I was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun they are to drive. Coming from a pro latemodel i was expecting....well...less then what they are. I had Rusty Chambers, fellow PLM racer take one out for fun and we agreed that these are definitely great cars and a great class to be in whether you have veterans or novice skills. I am looking forward to this year. Cory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Just added another young driver from the Austin area who will be competing in John Martin's former Legacy car. Details on the way... Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JYOUNG DWARF#18... Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Great to see the Legacy cars making a comeback. Can't wait to see fifteen to twenty flying around the track. Great job!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickHolt Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 We're in no rush to start that many cars. We just want to offer folks with Legacys sitting on jackstands the chance to run with us if they want to. Our plan is simple: 1) Enforce no-contact racing. Race like gentlemen and ladies or go race somewhere else. No sense in rebuilding these cars every race. Anyone involved in an on-track incident will have to fill in an incident report similar to those used in NASA. We had almost no beating and banging last season and what little that occurred was dealt with. 2) Encourage a club-like, family environment where youngsters can learn to race like good sportsmen and us old farts can feel comfortable in a non-combative atmosphere.. 3) Share whatever purse we eventually are able to generate evenly down through the field. Last place gets as much as first place. Of course, we have yet to land a sponsor and have no purse at this time. 4) Enforce the original Legacy rules package. The series went off the deep end for a few years and our intent is to level the playing field so that even the oldest Legacy car can be competitive under the rules.

NickHolt Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 And we certainly want to welcome Sean Moore to the Legacy Series. Sean is from the Austin area. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
