Current Trans Am Series racing--cool stuff
 
Stumbled across the T/A race from Sebring tonight.

I 've always dug these cars.

Mostly Chevy and Ford. 1 Challenger which is totally bada$$ as a race car.

Anyone else up on this series?

Are you speaking about the current T/A series?
This is from a few weeks ago at Sebring...

Yes, the current series.

Simon Gregg was racing #59.

Yes the race was awesome,gridded 73 cars.They start them in three segments about a second apart,but the first yellow bunched them all up.The guy in the Challenger was really putting on a show in the hairpin (bangin with the best of em)Even my wife was cheering!

Back in the mid 90s, I worked for a company the fielded a Trans Am car. Got to fly around the country going to races and entertaining clients. Couldn't believe I was getting paid for that!

The 90's was pretty good racing, Scott Pruett and Scott Sharp, Dorsey Shroeder come to mind. I'm old enough to remember the earlier series, Donohue, Follmer,
Parnelli Jones, Titus, Sam Posey and lots more. It was pretty good too!

Thanks for posting!

These are from Daytona last year. I've seen them run Sebring and Daytona about 4 times now. They put on a good show. Real V-8 thunder!

Ted,
Are you all signed up for the Reunion? Loved see you guys again last year. I would have to say, that of all the events I work each year, the Reunion is my favorite. And TA puts on the best show. See you in August!

Glad you like our run group Ron! :cool:
We enjoyed Laguna and Reunion the last 2 years.
Prolly go as a spectator, thrilled to see the F5000 cars this year.

The Camaro willing, this year we have 5 or 6 SVRA races on our list.

Last year at Reunion.
