I went to a Trans-Am at Road America a short time ago for the first time in decades; I am glad I went.
Removing the bridge did the track no favors but I am still amazed at how much it changed it.
I was there shortly before it was removed.
The food has gone downhill though, that is very sad.
The race though, while not a nail biter like the NASCAR was entertaining.
The tube frame TA are obviously faster, but the variety of the classes is what makes it worth the trip.
Dodge won the TA2 which was nice for variety.
Sadly the Trans-Am classes all run on Sunday now and not on Sat. which the drivers I spoke to said was not real bright as the first race was at 8:00 A.M and the tracks opens at 7:00 A.M. plus on Sunday you now MUST buy a paddock pass which makes a pre-ordered ticket cost 50 bucks and at the gate 70 bucks whereas a Sal ticket is only 35 bucks.
If the Trans-Am were on Sat., as they used to be, I would never waste money on a Sun. ticket again.
The NASCAR/ARCA cars are boring same crap, different pile things.
The track radio announcing though is excellent, the national TV boys could learn something from them.
The NASCAR race though.did remind me of the 1970 race at Donnybrooke and the 1974 race at Road America for drama, I will give it that much credit.
Too bad the cars are boring generic looking things.
