Vitesse, yes, you are right; it started in 1966 but I'm even more confused now because although the first race was indeed at Sebring, according to Dave Friedman's book - TransAm, The Pony Car Wars 1966-72 (Published by MBI in 2001), Tullius was second, sharing his Dodge Dart with Adamowicz. The winner was none other than Jochen Rindt in an Alfa GTA. The Dart was class winner though. Tullius did then win the 1967 season opener at Daytona in the Dart. Just shows how facts can get jumbled, I guess.
