I just received an e-mail from a GT-1 racer friend of mine.
The SCCA Trans-Am Series is coming back for 2009. They have 6 confirmed dates and are working on three more. Jim Derhaag was the driving force behind the revival. Muscle Milk is the series sponsor. You can see more on the SCCA's website, www.scca.org. The rules will be based on a full tube frame chassis race car. With the three auto makers each sporting a pony car again, I was hoping they would bring the TA series back in the original stock-bodied format. Oh Well. Personally, this is the only series I ever liked from SCCA. I am glad to see it coming back. |

I wrote a letter to the SCCA last year about them reviving it as a series to slot between Speed World Challenge GT and Touring. Tub-based like Mark said, but with significant mods and of course some amount of parity. With the new crop of ponycars coming out I thought it would be great. Maybe this will be a precurser to that I don't know, but as of now I think going back to tube-frame cars is a mistake.
