Looks like the TransAm guys are doing a doubleheader at Sears Point with the taxicabs. Can't wait to see the lap-time comparisons.:laugh:

It's happened before. T/A used to be the Saturday show at the Watkins Glen race every year.

I seem to recall that Trans Am qualifying and results were posted without times and speed when running with WC so a comparison could not be made.

Winston Cup fans won't know what to do with themselves when they see cars that actually have different body templates.
