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?

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!

Lee very nice.

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!

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. https://youtu.be/4glx1pjt10w |
