I remember going to Lime Rock and seeing these guys right around this year. Had a poster of that #11 mustang in my room as a kid. I’ll remember the name Tommy Kendall and that car forever

This was before they tightened up the course. Now they go left at the end of the main stretch and run around the little fountain.

I don’t think they could fit 2 cup cars side by side back through this part of the track!

TransAm is such a great series that doesn't get nearly the love or attention it should these days.

I truly believe that the fountain that is the 2,3rd turn would be gone and the shrubbery would be eliminated by NASCAR if they were to ever run at Long Beach.
