Hence the success of the car in TA2 which saw 25 entries last weekend.

All in all great value for money - which is always #1 on the list of the 'club racer'!

Does anyone actually reach these obscure channels? The only one I even recognize is Mav TV, even though I've never seen any of their broadcasts either.

Don't know why
Nice looking car.

What are laptimes compared to GT3?

At Road America 2014

Fastest Trans am lap 2:08.850
GTE 2:05.267
GTD 2:10.897

Keep in mind this track favors power, so the TA cars have an advantage. And these are race laps not qualifying.

What about TA2?

Okay good bang for the buck.

Difference between TA1 and TA2 is mainly engine power?

TA2 cars are also narrower and all built on the same Howe chassis (IIRC) whereas chassis differ from builder to builder in TA1.

Biggest TransAm grid at Lime Rock since 1981 when Greg Pickett won.

FLGTFAN has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
Homestead

I am going to this race because I went to the opener at Sebring and it was great (gonna have to DVR the WEC on FS1!) There are not many fans like it used to be, but the competition and atmosphere are well worth it. I paid $10 to get in at Sebring. Homestead may be $20 for a day. TA2, which is the ascendant category of the series, will have their own race this weekend.

Pretty jealous! Overall grids of close to 70 cars is amazing!

Trying to find a way to see TA at some point in the season - preferably at Lime Rock, Mid-Ohio or VIR.

Have fun!

It's surprising to see Trans-Am getting a big grid nowadays! Of course, it can't compete against Pirelli World Challenge in their current state.

Exactly as this might turn into a Super GT-esque event, seeing tube-frame behemoths and GT3 cars racing together!
