CPTV FEATURE: LOOKING FORWARD BACK WITH TERRY LEGGETT

 

Terry Leggett was there when the Pro Modified movement started. However, the Pinetown, North Carolina-based logger's name gets lost in the shuffle of the legends roll call. Those who remember those historic first days remember his colorful classic Thunderbirds carrying the "Looking Back" nickname. 

Leggett's Thunderbird was part of the memorable "world's fastest" group along with Charles Carpenter, Robbie Vandergriff and Norm Wizner just to name a few. 

Leggett later tried his hand at mountain motor Pro Stock and eventually returned to his home of racing quick and fast outlaw doorslammers. 

Leggett still plies his trade of racing fast doorslammers with arguably the quickest and fastest Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the world as a PDRA Pro Extreme racer. And as Leggett has done so well, he looks back, and races the same kind of car he drove as a teenager in eastern North Carolina. 

This neat video feature from Les Mayhew at CompetitionPlusTV goes behind the scenes with Leggett as he looks back and forward to his fast world of doorslammer racing.
