Marshall, Good point, but the relatively low speeds these guys (legend/dwarf) attain keep them pretty safe,however I can imagine the comfort level would be a lot less if they turned speeds reached at road courses! Dave Craddock

Right before I bought my first open-wheeler, I was watching one of the local Charlotte Legends events on cable - I was considering my options, and Legends looked pretty good. That night, one of the drivers had a fairly minor collision that ended up burning the car down. He barely managed to get himself out of the car, and was severely burned - he was fully engulfed in flames, and was well and truly on fire when he finally go out. When my wife and I saw that, Legends became a non-starter. ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! *** ________________________________ FormulaCar Magazine - A Proud Supporter of Formula 500 The Official Publication of Junior Formula Car Racing Subscribe Today! www.formulacarmag.com or 519-624-2003 _________________________________ _______________________________________________ F500 mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change options please visit: http://f500.org/mailman/listinfo/f500 *** Please, DO NOT send unsubscribe requests to the mailing list! ***
