2007 Racing Season Just Around the Corner!
|
It is only 4
weeks until our 1st race May 12th in
Medicine Hat. 2007 looks to be a very
exciting year with half a dozen new drivers.
Two of our Semi Pros #15 Dave McKean and #89
Grant MacDonald along with #12 Rick
Blanchette will be moving up to the Pro
Division. The Pro Division should have 10 or
12 racers this year. Also racers like #59
Greg Skinner, #40 Doug Bender, #6 Al Brown
look to do a lot more races in 2007. And the
latest rumor is Randy Thompson & Dave
Kindopp will both race 2 or 3 times in 2007
and share the same racecar. Stay tuned, 2007
is shaping up to be one heck of a Season! |

Big Picture
Its a Big Picture, a
great Big Picture! Legends will be doing a new
poster for the 2007 season at Race City Motorsports
Park on Saturday, May 26th. We will do an update
with specific times but it will be early in the day
before the race. This is well worth the effort to
come out for as the posters are used for autograph
sessions and promotional activities throughout the
season and if your car is not in the photo the kids
won't want to get your autograph! |
