Bandolero LATICRETE Racing
LATICRETE sponsors the No. 9 car for 12 year old driver Joey Ternullo in the summer long Wacky N’ Wild point series at the Waterford Speedbowl in Connecticut.
The series uses a small, entry-level race car known as the Bandolero, produced by U.S. Legend Cars. The Bandolero Car is a turnkey, spec-series racer designed for drivers as young as eight years old and the young-at-heart at any age.
"We wanted something to go between a kart and a car and wanted to make it relatively simple for everybody to use," said the founder of U.S. Legend Cars, H.A. "Humpy" Wheeler. "For example, like a kart, the Bandolero Car has left-foot braking and a centrifugal clutch so there's no shifting of gears for a new driver to worry about. Simplicity and economy of design are evident everywhere, with 150 parts making up the entire package--just half of what goes into making a Legends Car."
The Bandolero Car's motivation is provided by a thumping Briggs & Stratton 570cc Vanguard engine mounted behind the driver. Small modifications have been made to the engine to bring the once 20HP stock engine to nearly 30HP.
The 2011 series ran Wednesdays until September 21st. Joey ranked in the top five in every race he participated in, earning him 22nd place out of 146 drivers in his division across America. Check out the Waterford Speedbowl website for the series' final standings.
