What is this? I want one

Saw this at the bass pro shops Motorsports museum. What is it, and where can I buy one?

In reply to Antihero :

looks like a Legend car to me 

In reply to danvan :

definitely a legends car. used to run air cooled motorcycle motors, now I'm seeing them run in NASA with Hyabusa motors and they RIP.

In the summer of 2018, the U.S. Legend Cars Engine Shop introduced the Yamaha FZ09.

Definitely Atlanta Motor Speedway President Ed Clark's Legends Car.



 

In reply to Cooter :

Love this. The question of "what kind of car is this" got an answer of "this specific guy's car"!  Well done.

I'm rarely accused of underexplaining.  

I mean it does have his name on it. But yes GRM is cool. 

How hard would it be to license one for street? Because....reasons.

Exactly, this is exactly what I must know

You may want to read through this thread for some ideas.

1958 Berkeley Special

Edit - it was built on Dwarf chassis, not a legends car.

That’s correct for back in the day.  I’d imagine that’s a fairly hard lump to source today though.

I was told that many legends series require in the rules that the cars be titled. You’re welcome ;)

I’ve waned to do a street legal tubo busa swapped legends car on te37vs with lots of carbon and a suede covered (basic) interior. Add some aero like that f1 32ford thing and youve got a wicked interesting car imho

I saw 2 in the parking lot at Barber.  Husband and wife had driven them from Kentucky.

In reply to Carbon :

I had one as a project that I decided to pass along......unless your actually a dwarf I can't see driving it anywhere except during short races or autox runs.

I also seem to remember Legends cars are also classed in F-Mod, although they are woefully outclassed by the formula type cars.
