Circa Pictures Enters Into a Production Partnership Agreement With Allison Legacy RacingLast update: 9/4/2008 7:30:00 AMLOS ANGELES, Sept 04, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- Circa Pictures and Production Co., Intl., Inc. (Pink Sheets: CPPD) announced today they entered into an exclusive Reality Television production partnership agreement with Allison Legacy Racing (). According to Constantine Papadopoulos, Circa's CEO: "We are very excited to be joining forces with Allison Legacy Racing in the creation of a new television show that will introduce viewers to this unique concept. The Allison Family is true royalty in the world of Stock Car Racing and Kenny, Ronald and Donald Allison have continued this family tradition in the creation of the Legacy Racing circuit and the Legacy car." According to Frank Hagan, Circa's VP of Television: "Three years ago, I was on a production shoot in Hickory, NC and saw the Allison Legacy car in action. It's a real race car, a Nextel Cup style racer designed and built by a family of pure racers. When I learned the average age of the drivers was 15 years of age, I immediately knew I wanted to turn Legacy Racing into a reality show. Now, with Circa and the Allison's, its going to happen. The program will be called Allison Legacy Racing: Real Cars, Real Kids, Real Racing. This Circa Pictures project will also be represented and marketed to potential venues by one of the top Alternative Television, Talent and Literary Agencies in Los Angeles." Quoting Kenny Allison: "With Circa, we will create a program that isn't just about race cars, it will be a show where viewers will get to meet the real future stars of racing, the talented young people who sit behind the wheels of the Legacy Cars. Legacy drivers get to learn hands on what it means to be a driver in the tradition of Sprint Cup racing and former Legacy drivers are now young professionals on such top NASCAR teams as DEI, Joe Gibbs Racing, Rousch-Fenway, Petty Enterprises and Team Red Bull Racing." Papadopoulos continued: "Our bringing this weekly, hour-long television show will expose young people and all race fans to this highly organized circuit and into the lives of the young men and women who drive the Legacy race car." More on Kenny Allison and Legacy Racing The Allison Brothers, Bobby and Donnie, are famed NASCAR racing legends. Donnie's son Kenny Allison along with his twin brothers Ronald and Donald Allison have continued this family tradition. Together, they created and own Allison Brothers Race Cars and the Allison Legacy Racing Series. Legacy Racing is a circuit of coast to coast races in three existing divisions. Legacy Racing maintains the rules and national technical inspections are strictly enforced to limit any alterations to the basic car so skill and talent will be the only advantage a Legacy Racer can have on the track. The car itself is a three-quarter sized replica of a Sprint Cup car and is powered by a four cylinder MAZDA B-2200 truck engine that produces 125 horsepower. Races occur on oval tracks and the cars can hit a top speed of 120 MPH. This has become NASCAR'S "Triple A team" of tomorrows racing superstars.
