There are a LOT of different car racing series in the world, and one of the funkiest is Legend Cars! The home of Legend cars and where they are all built is just up the road from us, and not far from Charlotte Motor Speedway, so we stopped by for a visit!
These cars have been around since 1992, and of course the first thing you notice about them is that they are small! The basic chasis weighs about 1,100 pounds, and they use a 3 cylinder Yamaha motorcycle engine that cranks out 135 horsepower. Another sign of how small they are is the gas tank, which holds 4.1 gallons! Dang, that's less than the typical 5.5 gallon fuel jug like the Bunch of Idiots team uses! Of course the cool factor is that you could tell your friends "Yeah, I just filled up the tank for 14 bucks!"
