The event is held annually at Hobby Emporium and we were proud to be a part of it for the second year in a row.  Here we are chatting with the store's owner, Art.

We met a lot of new fans!  Everyone always loves a chance to sit inside a Legends car...

A great time was had by all and we hope to be back in 2014! In the meantime, if you're in New England, take a trip to Hobby Emporium in Tyngsboro, MA and see what the fun is all about!

First Legends Career Top 5!

The Hooligan Motorsports team crossed our fingers as we traveled to Northern Maine on Saturday. After a rain soaked week, the weather forecast was not looking good and we were doubtful that we would get the Speedway 95 race in... but, the NELCAR tour beat Mother Nature and we did indeed race!

VIP Thursday Thunder Series

The VIP Thursday Thunder series is well underway at Beech Ridge Motor Speedway!  Every Thursday night, you'll get 2 full hours of racing action for just $4! 

We kicked it off on June 13th by starting on the pole and finishing with a Top Ten!  The rain began to fall and things got a little hairy on track before they finally called the race complete, a few laps short.  Matt finished 8th.

A week later, Matt finished 11th on June 20th in a green to checkers, caution free race.

June 27th was another Top Ten, with the #8 coming home in 9th...

We're looking forward to getting back to the Ridge on Thursday for a special 4th of July early show.  Racing starts an hour early this week, at 6:00 pm!
