Welcome - This site is devoted to the evolution of
my '79 Trans Am into a C Prepared autocross car. I began racing Trans Ams with this
'76 TA:
Here I'm running my '76 Trans Am at the Denver Coliseum in '78
at a Trans Am Club West Championship Series event on a course I designed. In the
background is Mike Davis from the Denver Corvette Association.
