After months of hard work over the summer, William has purchased a legends car and begun racing at Texas Motor Speedway! Look for William in the, currently, #23t '34 Ford Sedan at TMS! Over the weekend he ran over 150 laps on the 'Lil TMS and had a very impressive first outing in a legends car. The car was built by Cherokee Racing two and a half years ago for a driver to rent but was never ran. It had sat at the teams shop until this weekend when I told them I was interested in the car and wanted to take a look at it. Buddy, the owner of Cherokee Racing, called the driver of their second trailer and told them to turn around and pick up the 23t car. After an inspection of the car they loaded it up and brought it to the track. Upon first glance the car looked rough and I wasn't to sure of what to think about it. I asked Buddy if I could take it out on the track and to my liking, the car handled phenomenally and had TONS of power! I pulled it in and tried to keep my grin to a minimum as to try to show as little emotion as I could even though at that moment I knew the car was mine!
On Tuesday, July 24, William, Bobby and Richard went over to a buddies house. We met at the Lonestar Grand Prix and have now begun a project race car that we are building basically from the ground up. We are building a 1986 Nissan Pulsar that has a 1.5L engine that boasts an extremely underwhelming 59hp! Why would anyone in their right mind use this car to race? Well, us apparently. And we arent the only people building a crazy car!
