Joe E. Legends sat down for a chat with Steve Morley

Welcome Former WWE wrestler Joe E. Legends to my blog today

Thanks for Stopping by today Joe E. Legends.

Steve Morley:

We are going to have a little fun today talking about cars. First let’s start off by telling everyone a little bit about you.

Joe E. Legends:

I'm Joe Legends, 6'3" tall, 252 pounds and have little more than 20+ years internationally working in wrestling, Entertainment. I started off working in North America, spending a couple of years in Europe with short tours of Africa, Japan, the Middle East. I have returned to Europe and while I continue working full time all over Europe as well as Japan, Africa and the Middle East.

Steve Morley:

 Awesome! Let’s go way back. What was your very first car?

Joe E. Legends:

Volkswagon Jetta. Looked a piece of crap but you COULDN'T kill that thing. The kind of ugly that makes "the Club" obsolete.

Steve Morley:

That is too funny. So tell us have you ever worked on a car project of your own?

Joe E. Legends:

Never worked on a car project outside of auto shop in high school. I'm less than worthless with cars outside of driving them as I can drive just about anything. But under the hood, nothing. If I turn the key and it doesn't start..."car's broke".

Steve Morley:

Nothing wrong with that J  If you  had to pick one car as your favorite car what would it be.

Joe E. Legends:

The Batmobile

Steve Morley:

That is cool. That’s one of my top 5 too.

It’s been great talking to you today Joe. Do you  have any new projects coming up?

Joe E. Legends:

Outside the ring I entered into a co-author partnership with Kristal McKerrington a professional author since 2010. I'm represented by Barone Literary Agency for that of books. I'm also working with Kristal McKerrington on the Reality TV show Romance & The Wrestler which is to be a show based in the States. I have several books coming out with Solstice Publishing over the next few months.

Steve Morley

Well like I said it’s been great having you here today Joe. I’d love to have you back again sometime.

Morley Performance ~ Engine wins at Montgomery Park

Morley performance Engine wins at Montgomery Park. Galbraith Motorsports midgets Placed 1st and Second

Saturday’s Spring Sprint Nationals at the local track offered the Midwest Open Wheel Association (MOWA) 410 Winged Sprints for its feature race. The series uses a traditional sprint car chassis with a 410 cubic-inch-displacement V8 engine and a large overhead wing mounted to the car’s frame. The circuit will visit tracks in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri - including Montgomery Motorsports Park, which will host three events of the organization’s 2013 schedule. This weekend’s opener was the sixth scheduled stop of the season. MOWA will visit New Florence again this season on June 22 and August 31.

Early-season MOWA points leader, A.J. Bruns lost to Jimmy Hurley in their heat race, then watched Hurley dominate in the Dash. But Bruns turned the tables in Saturday’s feature race and used a deft hand through slower lapped traffic to win the first Spring Sprint Nationals. He had one scare when his car touched wheels with the car of Ryan Kempin, which went tumbling out of the track over the turn two wall as a result. Kempin was unharmed in the rollover, and a small fire was quickly extinguished by the track’s crew. An anticipated challenge by 2012 MOWA Champion Jerrod Hull ended early when he retired from 4th place with mechanical troubles.

The smaller but similar (minus the wing) 4-cylinder powered midgets of the All-Star Midget Series (ASMS) opened the night’s racing. The ASMS midgets’ Spring Sprint Nationals appearance had a small turnout for stop 5 of the new series’ 19-race schedule at Kansas and Missouri tracks. The racing with the little cars was thrilling though, and if the word gets out we could see a much larger field when the All-Star series returns to New Florence on August 31.

Local drivers did well in the All-Star portion of the Spring Sprint Nationals, with New Haven, Missouri’s Curtis Boyer trying unsuccessfully to chase down Washington, Missouri’s Gavin Galbraith for the feature win. Although Galbraith had some challenges getting to the feature race – more on that in a minute – everything went his way once the green flag waved. Boyer, who earlier won the Fast Dash despite a deflating tire, had an exciting wheel-banging battle with Danny Fry III to earn second place in the feature. Galbraith and Boyer – teamed in Galbraith Motorsports midgets – collided in their earlier heat race and frantic repairs were required to get the cars back to race-ready in time for the feature race.

When CNL visited Montgomery Motorsports Park earlier in the week, owner Randy Matlock was using his tractor to clean up the paddock area (pictured right), confident that the track surface was already prepared for good racing. He was correct –the racetrack was in fine shape for this season’s opener, with a racy and even surface that remained firm and fast all night. The same can be said for the entire operation: it is in fine shape – Montgomery Motorsports Park is maturing into a first-class racing facility.

A little bit about me:

 My father got me interested in this business.  He taught me almost everything that I know and encouraged me to believe that I could do anything and learn everything that I could.  I have been building hot rods since 1975.  I worked full time at a welding shop and built hot rods for myself and others.  For as long as I remember I have had some sort of addiction to power. I have been building my own engines since 1977, I have definitely learned a lot since then.   I raced an altered drag car for 8 years, then other things took precedence (family, house, etc…) and I decided to sell it.  I decided that I had been tinkering with building engines for myself long enough, so in 1986 I began building engines for circle track racecars, drag cars, and high performance street cars.
          I worked several years in an engine and racing carburetion shop, but unfortunately there was no money to be made there.  I moved on from that and worked at Jim Butler Chevrolet for the next 10 years.  As the hours of operation did not agree with my schedule I moved on and spent the following 10 years working at Sapaugh Chevy, Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, G.M.C.  No matter where I was working during the day my evenings and weekends were still being spent working on my passion for building engines and hot rods.
          The shop that I have opened it is equipped with the latest technology featuring Sunnen machines.  We have the very high tech Superflow 902 dyno to test and tune your engine.  We are not just an engine shop.  We are a full service fabrication shop, if you need a crazy part built for your hot rod, racecar, boat, or even lawn mower.  We also offer complete hot rod services.  We can handle anything from engine swaps, to wiring and adding superchargers, intercoolers, turbochargers, nitrous oxide, or even building a street rod from the ground up.  We are able to do the crazy stuff that no one else wants to put their hands on.
          I am a G.M. and A.S.E. certified world class technician.  I have attended countless seminars (including several with my hero “Smokey” Yunick) and several classes at Superflow in Colorado on camshaft design, airflow research and several others.
          We have built race winning dirt track engines for Kenny Schrader, David Jumper, Jeff Lebaube, Kenny Rumble, Gary & Danny Haynes, Tim Hill Sr., Don Jumper, Bill Larue, Mark Miner, Gene Reed, and Kevin Epperson just to name a few.  We have built high performance engines for Kip Albert, John Sienor, Jason Isringhausen, Jack Morley, Danny Krumm, Bob Gerrison, and Earl Chapman.  We have also built several hot rods over the years.
          I have always wanted to open up my own shop to pursue my passion, this is what I love to do.  Since the beginning I have strived to be the best that I can at what I do.  Whether its wiring a racecar or porting cylinder heads, it has to be nice or I simply won’t let it out of my shop. 

Special THANKS to all of my friends who helped build the new shop!!
