What's this car?
Found this on www.garageawesome.com
 The car is on display at the Autosport Show. At first I thought it is a Bandolero but they look different. |

 After looking up the sponsor on the rear 1/4 panel, found this link: http://www.racequip.com/customergallery.html Naturally, has a description of all pics 'cept the one in question, which led me here: http://www.ovalpix.com/ I have "possibly" narrowed it down to the British Isles for you, and yes, it looks a bit BIGGER than bandolaros, at least in wheel size. |

Probably the UK short oval people here know what it is.
Have to say it looks nice. Much better as Bandoleros. |

In the USA they have regional and touring divisions run by the MMRA along with the Minicups. Carl Edwards used to race one. |

While it isn't it does remind me of a Mitjet car, only somewhat longer.

EDIT: Holy crap, just looked up the price of a Mitjet car...~$33,000. That's RIDICULOUS. The American Legends car is ~$16,500 brand new. |

These things are basicaly the same as Legends with a stock car body.
Not bad I spose but last time I watched them I literally fell asleep! But there were not many of them I must admit. That was on short ovals, which is pretty much what they are built for. |

Let me clear this up before it gets out of hand. Baby Grands, MitJets and Legends are most definitely NOT the same underneath! The Baby Grand is simply a scaled down Late Model. It is built on two Chassis rails and uses the same space frame design as a perimeter LM chassis. It even uses the Winters Quick Change axle, but with much shorter axle tubes. A Legend is built by 600 Racing and is also spaceframe, but is basically a safety cell with extensions built on to hold the various components. But the frame work is built specifically for the purpose and holds no relation to the Baby Grand. The MitJet uses a basic spaceframe in line with European cage design rules and is designed to accommodate a driver and a passenger. They all use Yamaha engines but THEY ARE NOT THE SAME CARS!!!!
