I have been told that Legge does a better job of getting herself in front of sponsors than other female drivers and that's how she keeps getting rides in major series. That seems strange to me but I don't know to argue that it isn't true.

She’s very nice. Met her at an RLL event a few years ago

She’s got that pretty English lady thing going on too. Plus she kicks butt

Why is she not practicing/testing?

 

[KTMLew01]

OK. Broadcast just answered my question. Has to do a recertification test later today. Not eligible to practice today.

 

[KTMLew01]

Veteran refresher program. If survives that then gets to run rest of afternoon.

Doesn't appear she gonna get it done today. Few 210ish laps but needs eleven I think between 210-215. Now not sure if said needs ten or eleven laps. Either way wasn't fast enough. Looks like one more run. She appeared to be indicating the front end was skating/wobbling. Just my read of her hand waving. Headed back out. 17 minutes to go. It's 15 laps needed. Has 7 completed. Don't have to be consecutive.

 

[KTMLew01]

Got er did! Now has to do again above 215 this afternoon. That looked pretty easy.

Thought was going out but they aborted. Not sure why. Were all set-up to go with 4ish minutes left. She's getting out.

I have always liked her attitude about driving and her personality. She never bitches about anything and enjoys what she does and can drive any type of car very well.
