LEGENDS OF GEORGIA
You can enjoy the excitement of sanctioned auto racing from behind the wheel! Thanks to 600 Racing and Legends of Georgia, it's easy, affordable and a great source of family fun. Legends Cars are 5/8 scale replicas of classic coupes and sedans of the '30s that were modified into the fordable racing machines of NASCAR's grassroots history. But don't let their size fool you - these are serious race cars powered by 1200cc, 4-cylinder Yamaha engines delivering 122 horsepower - more than enough to give you some major league racing thrills.

Sanctioned by INEX Corp., the Legends Car series gives you a chance to compete, regardless of your skill level. And there's no better way for serious racing fans to gain experience without investing a fortune.

To keep competition even, each car is manufactured to the same exacting specifications and can't be altered. The outcome of each race depends on the drivers' skills.

Major corporate sponsorship has helped the Legends Racing Series grow to over 2,000 events at more than 200 tracks around the world. Drivers compete for trophies and prize money. Call Legends of Georgia (770) 707-2977 to find out more about getting your self behind the wheel of a Legends car and into the fast lane of racing.
