Well, looks like all that purposing on sites and chats have paid off.

Most of the groundwork was laid with the new Mustang, and has picked up speed with the Dodge Challenger. Now, just in time for the new Camaro, SCCA has decided to revise the Trans Am series.

While present conditions might be a little hard, establishing the basis for this series may work well when things are a bit better. Personally, I say use a rules package similar to that when the series started in '66; a two-tiered system with a 3.5L & under and a 5.4L class. There are plenty of cars that fit that 3.5L engine base, and the 5.4L works with the Mustang, Camaro, and Challenger, since all have, or will have, engines that are available in or near that size.
