Although competitors from across the pond were welcome to join the fray, it was the pony cars that truly made Trans Am. Ford, GM, Chrysler, and AMC took their beef to the asphalt during the heydays between 1968-through-1971. In fact, so virulent were these days that homologation rules swayed manufacturers' vehicle production, causing them to produce machines that adhered to Trans Am specs, most notably the 5-liter engine displacement rule, which birthed the BOSS 302 Mustang and the Camaro Z/28.

A shame to have to run at such a crappy flat makeshift course.    Yes, I realize the genesis of SCCA road racing was on airfields in the 1950's.   But those T/A cars belong on real road courses.
