If the past National events are any indicator...you'll need a bumper or two (or 20 !!) for the INEX Spring Nationals...

If you need any bumpers straightened and re-tabbed, give me a shout.

"Trade in" your repairable bumper:
- Bandolero bumpers: $25
- Legend bumpers (standard) - $30
- Legend bumpers (reinforced rear) - $35

They look "almost" like new, and I guarantee they are more durable than a stock bumper…

• "Ugly Bumper" discounts if you don’t want it cleaned up or re-painted

• Volume discounts for quantities over 10

Send me a FB message, text 77zero-862-237zero, or find me at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Thanks!

These stock Bandolero and Legend car bumper tabs are getting thinner and thinner…

and don’t conform to their own rule book !!😂

Came across these “welds” on some recent batches of bumpers that came in for re-tabbing and straightening….Good Lord!!!

Brand new Bandolero axle; .010” runout…
A little Flater Racing straightening got it nearly perfect…

Flater Racing had two cars in the Rookie Bandolero race for the double-feature Thursday Thunder races at Legends And Bandolero Racing at EchoPark Speedway. After the first race, both cars were on the podium - Nico 2nd and Ryleigh 3rd !!! Both cars missed the chaos and wrecks of 11 cars in the field and only 7 laps completed.
The second race had Nico in 3rd, with a great battle all race long with the 2nd place car. Ryleigh finished 9th, but ran a better race than her finish positioned showed. No additional work for Flater Racing Repairs!!! We had enough bumper repair work to keep us busy after the Legend Car races...

Well, Flater Racing had two cars in the Rookie Bandolero race for Thursday Thunder Race #5 at Legends And Bandolero Racing at EchoPark Speedway.... and unfortunately both wrecked out early.
Ryleigh West Racing had a little "timing" mistake out of turn 2, and got clipped in the right rear by the #22 Hagan Green Racing car. Most wrecks in the Rookie class are unintentional and this was no exception. Young drivers learning (expensive) lessons!!

Amazing that a nose into the concrete wall only caused relatively minor (and repairable) damage:
Only the two heims in the A-Arm needed replacing -- nothing else in the front suspension was damaged (how is that possible??) Front bumper was toast, the front bumper horns were pushed over, and some pretty good tears and blow-outs in several of the fiberglass panels.
Flater Racing Repairs was busy fixing fiberglass on the 4th!!
I try my best to "fix vs replace", salvage those vinyl wraps, and save everyone some $$...

Unfortunately, racing often involves fixing crash damage....
This new Bandolero driver found himself going straight into the tire barrier in Turn 2 during practice at Legends And Bandolero Racing at EchoPark Speedway. Driver was fine, but a bit shaken up...

Frame needed a front clip ("snout") replaced, and some straightening of the floor pan and interior sheet metal.
Will also need a new fiberglass nose, bumper, windshield, and spindle; but I was amazed that not more was damaged....

Anyway; its fixed and ready to go!!
If you need anything similar done to your car, give me a shout...

Ryleigh West Racing pulled it off in her first Thursday Thunder race!!!
She stayed out of trouble all day and avoided all the Rookie Bandolero spin-outs. No work for Flater Racing Repairs after this race (thankfully)…
The Young Lions race was a different story🤣
18 minutes into the race with 1 lap complete… bumper tab carnage!!!😂😂😂

From the Flater Racing Repairs metal shop— this metal 3D woodpecker is going to grandma.
Not sure if Iowa has Pileated Woodpeckers, but it will soon…

An early Mother’s Day present for my wife…since she already has a bumper tab flower.
Pretty easy design to alter and customize, if someone has any interest.
A Legend Car version is in the works….stay tuned!

Don't forget Mom on May 11th!!!
I have three yellow and two red Bumper-Tab flowers ready to go for Mother's Day. Only $60.
Can be mounted on a brake rotor or an in-ground stake.

Can deliver to AMS/Legends of Georgia next week, to Charlotte (on 5/7) or Cordele Motor Speedway on 5/10.

Possible to do some quick custom numbers or vinyl decals if you act fast!

Couple of custom purple Bumper-Tab flowers heading to Cordele next weekend for Kinsley Tatum Racing; just in time for Mother's Day!

Didn't have any purple paint, so a bit of mixing of "International Harvester Red" with "Ford Blue" did the trick!

These are mounted on some old Legend Car rotors...
