Sports car racing, is my passion and I have been dedicated to it for well over two decades. A great quote from Steve McQueen in his 1971 movie, when he starred as Gulf Porsche driver Michael Delaney, comes to mind. "Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after, is just waiting." - Steve McQueen From the movie, "Le Mans" - 1971

History of the Trans Am Series
The SCCA Trans Am Series, started out as an endurance racing type championship, but then, evolved into a flat out sprint racing series. So, it is loosely based on endurance sports car racing, albeit not too much. However, the great history of the sport, (since it has recently been revitalized... reference the two race broadcasts from modern Trans Am just posted), is still there. Let's take a look, via a great documentary, at the first three decades of the sport, between it's inception in 1966 and the peak of it's popularity, in the mid 1990's.
