I spent 12 years and more than $40,000 building it.  So I proved I could build it.  Drove it fast for a few laps, so I proved it works.  This was an enjoyable mid-life crisis, but now I’m 76 years old and probably should sell before I get hurt.  I raced a 2-litre Porsche 911S at Gimli for 10 years.   This Legend is faster than my 911 by far. PRICE -2  sad stories:  * Doc won’t sign my license physical due to Parkinson Disease, so I can’t race.   * Last time out blew rad hose and melted all 3 pistons.  This is a bargain basement deal. With fresh motor $8,000.    Needs pistons as is $6,500.   Set of 3 pistons run under $1,000. __________________________________________________ As well, being sold separately:  Four Compmotive Turbo 3-piece split rims.   Rears 8” x 13”    Fronts 6” x 13”    All in excellent condition.  Of special interest to vintage racers.   All mounted with Hoosier scrub-in slicks with 5/32” rubber.   $1,500 OBO   ____________________________________________________   Any questions or info....please contact:   Ron Lyseng ronlyseng@icloud.com 204-654-3096

    • Big shout out to Ray Ronquillo for organizing such a great car show! Big turnout, cool cars, lots of people and great sponsor support. WSCC reps conversed with a lot of interested car people about our club and the different ways of participating in our events. On hand to spread the love were Dan & Pat Barry, Al Marcoux, Chris Gauthier, Wayne Kehler, Steve Leiding and myself. Hoping to see a spike in attendance at our next track event! Don't be surprised next year to see this car show event imbedded into one of our Race Weekends at Gimli Motorsports Park!

    • Hey everyone, I'm incredibly excited to see the WSCC out in full force at the car show! R&M Wealth Solutions (my business) is proud to be a major sponsor for this event, and we can't wait to see you all. Just a quick PSA: If you are attending, roll-in time is at 10:00 AM. This gives everyone, especially those with trucks and trailers, plenty of time to park, set up, and catch up before things kick off. One detail not on the flyer: there is a $5 entry fee per car. However, 100% of that goes directly as a donation to the Winnipeg Pet Rescue. If you have any questions, feel free to message me here or directly on my cell at (204) 583-8397. See you guys soon!
    • Attention all club members with a Honda - WSCC will be making a presence at this car show event and we encourage any road racer, drifter, autocross or Time Attack racer to bring out their car next Sunday on June 14th.  Any questions - please contact Al Marcoux or Ray Ronquillo
