Legend Car Racing
Legend Car Racing
2004 was our first year for sponsoring Legend Car Racing.
It all started when a few of our staff had an opportunity to spend a day at the track (Race City) where they got to meet the drivers, learn about the cars, and even test drive them. All who attended had such a great time that they soon realized there had to be a way for Canyon to get more involved.
What is a Legend Car?
Legends Cars were created in 1992 by 600 Racing, Inc. of North Carolina to address the main concern of many racers - the spiraling cost of the sport. A need existed for a true purpose-built racing car which was inexpensive, light, and adaptable to many forms of racing. The Legends Car was born. Strict rules limiting modifications keep the costs down and the competition fierce.
The Legends Car is a real race car, consisting of a tubular frame and roll cage, a 125 horsepower motorcycle engine run through a locked differential, and tight, responsive steering. Total weight is approx. 1150 lbs. While it was originally designed for oval track racing, the car is right at home on the road course when properly prepared.
