Legends "Poster Shoot"
As in previous years we will be doing the "Legends Poster Shoot" on May 21, 2005 at Race City in Calgary. We do this picture every year and produce posters that the drivers give away at the races. They are great, the kids usually go around with the poster and get all of their favourite drivers to sign the poster.
This year we will be combining the picture with a barbecue so make sure you are there on time, get in the photo and enjoy some camaraderie with your fellow racers.
Legends Poster Shoot details:
May 21st Race City Motorsports Park
Poster Shoot at 10:30 Am
Barbecue at 12:00 PM

Mac's Legends Calgary Championship Season Opener
The 2005 Mac's Legends Calgary Championship kicks off this Saturday at Race City Motorsports Park in Calgary.
2005 Race City Oval Season News
As many of you are aware, Race City has made a number of changes that are designed to maintain the integrity of the racing community in Calgary. Input has been received from many individuals as well as sanctioning bodies in trying to reach a balance.
Changes we are making on the oval for 2005 are:
All classes will have a $30 Car & Driver Entry fee, $20 for each crew. There will be no payouts.
There will be an autograph session open to all classes each night on the front straight from approximately 6:25 to 6:45 pm (details pending)
The oval competitor gate will open at 2 pm on most Saturdays to allow teams more time to enter, set up and be teched prior to on track practice time of 4 pm.
In an effort to keep the show going with minimal unnecessary clean-ups, the white line rule will be enforced more rigorously in 2005 (i.e. if you push someone or go below the line, expect to be black-flagged)
In an effort to speed up major clean-ups, races will be red-flagged to allow easier clean-up.
Qualifying and heat races will be run under a pre-determined time limit (i.e. heat races 10 minutes).
In order to speed up the show, there will be no waiting for drivers to get into line to start a race. Racers are expected to be in line and ready to race when the pace car rolls out.
Legends will have a tech member on the rescue crew to hook up the “tommy hook” or instruct the driver to drive his vehicle to the pits in order to speed up clean-up.
Race City will support racers that are doing public displays with some free children’s tickets. Nichol Turner will coordinate this program; a minimum of one weeks notice is required.

2005 Legends Decal Cards
Many of you asked to be included this year, so now’s your chance to get involved in the Legends Decal Card Program for 2005. This is a great way to recognize your Sponsors and your Fans!
We once again have the opportunity for 10 + driver’s to participate in the car decal program this year. This will be on a fist come first serve basis.
The cost per driver for 2,000 decals is $ 820 + GST, which includes the photo itself. If there are less then 10 drivers signed up at the time we do the Poster shoot then we will likely not be able to proceed, as the costs per driver rises considerably.
Confirmed thus far are Randy Thompson, Brent Hackl, Dave Kindopp, Danny Hinds, Tim Johnson, Garry Shillington, John Thomas, Ira Laughy and Dave Nehring. Please let me know your interest in being included this year on or before May 8th.
R&G photo will likely be taking these pictures, this year. Precision label will be doing the actual decals.
You can reach me by phone at 214-3375 office, 519-5069 cell or 256-4405 home. I can also be reached by e-mail, ron.thompson@macs.ca rl.Thompson@shaw.ca
I would ask that you forward me your e-mail address so when it comes to proof all the info for the back of your cards we can do so via e-mail. Start putting your driver profile, accomplishments, goals, fan website and sponsor list together now, so we can get moving on these and hopefully have them in your hands before the 2nd Calgary race of the fast approaching 2005 season.
Mac’s will once again be making the collector posters for these decal cards, as these were a hit last year.
Looking forward to another great season.

Legends Tech Section - By Geoff Winter and the INEX Tech Team
Most of you are in the process of reassembling your cars for the upcoming season so here's some TFE POC hints.
1. Check your seat for radial cracks around the mounting bolts (grade 8 of course).
2. Same thing with the welds , particularly in the seat pan area.
3. Seat belts, vacuum them, grit and metal filings are murder on them.
4. Helmets and gloves, old helmets and gloves fit like a good slipper. But would you wear a slipper on your head?? The worst "non racing deal" enemy of your hat and gloves is sweat. And 75% of you body heat loss is through the top of your head. So don't store you gloves in your helmet. Instead get a good quality 100% cotton towel and store it in your helmet until laundry day/ Monday whichever comes first
5. Buying a new helmet? Remember, Snell approved and SA rated. Also make sure the Snell
decal is inside the helmet and includes the year and rating. ie Snell SA 2000.
6. Keep your INEX rule book and current membership in your tool box. Saves on the soles of those expensive driving shoes!
Last but not least, be kind to your crew chiefs, they've invested a lot of themselves in your toy. |
