Welcome to the Maritime League of Legends
It was in April of 1992 that the first Legends Car was unveiled at the Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte,
North Carolina. The concept of creating a fun and affordable "spec" class of racing for anyone to participate in
was born. President and General Manager of LMS, H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler and Elliott Forbes-Robinson, famed road
racing champion, designed these 5/8-scale fiberglass full-fendered versions of the famed NASCAR modifieds driven
by legendary drivers such as Fireball Roberts, Buck Baker, Curtis Turner, Speedy Thompson and Banjo Matthews.
The popularity of the Legends Cars was almost instantaneous. With four different racing divisions geared to
accommodate almost any experience level they were, and remain, a hit throughout North America as well as in
Europe.
It was only a short time after their introduction, in 1994, that the first Legends Cars appeared in eastern
Canada, reviving the competitive spirit in many veteran racers as well as providing a proving ground for young
up-and-coming racers in the region.
The Maritime League of Legends Association was formed in 2005 by a group of racer's wanting to grow the
Legends Cars division in the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
The Legends Cars are produced by 600 Racing, Inc. in Harrisburg, North Carolina. Currently they are the
largest mass producer of racecars in the world. Presently, there are more than 3,500 Legends Cars in existence.
