Shoe tension:  High downforce allows for heavy shoe
tension without giving up handling.

 Background
Legacy Too is very appropriately named.  The original 4x16'
Tyco version dates back to the 1980s and was previously owned by Tim Warner, Butch Bowden, and Mark Herrold.  It has also been sanctioned by CHOPRA and appeared at the 1994 Nationals in Denver.  Legacy - Walt Pierce purchased the track in 1999 and named it Legacy.  Legacy 20 - In 2000 the track was stretched by adding a four foot middle section.  The table was reconstructed to include new drivers' stations, sturdier construction, and lowered for better marshalling and driver visibility.  Legacy Too - In 2003 Legacy got a serious upgrade.  The track itself was replaced with MaxTrax but the layout still resembles the original version of the track. 
Sanctioned by MHOSA: Fall 2002

Super Stock
Because of the downforce of the MaxTrax, the chassis should not touch the rails or only slightly touch the rails to maximize handling and speed.  

Restricted Open
Because of the downforce of the MaxTrax, overheating is a common problem. Care should be taken to ensure that the chassis is not set too close to the track rails.
