2000 Throwback: GRAND-AM at Lime Rock

[@Mr_Bedlam215]

My childhood consisted of watching things like this. Total nostalgia rush. Thanks, IMSA!

[@brucespruce4689]

Loving these throwbacks. I was only 9 at the time and was unaware of endurance racing and such. I was only a kid who was into NASCAR. So these throwbacks are my first time viewing these races. Especially enjoyed the last throw back at mosport park as it is around where I grew up. Cheers guys. Gonna enjoy this.

Race start at 12:00

[@purwantiallan5089]

I miss those 2000 IMSA cars... reminds me a lot to Gran Turismo 2.

[@florencewebb6655]

Love seeing the older cars! I really miss Speedvision/Speed Channel.

[@RickyBroshRacing]

Awesome cars! Thanks for uploading IMSA

[@zackboyd652]

Thank you imsa!!! Loved to see the old sr widebody saleen racing!!

[@ArmbarArcade]

2:41 - GRAN TURISMO 2 NOSTALGIA! Also weren't the AGT spec cars the then-current Trans-Am spec cars? I didn't know they ever competed in Grand-Am!

[@TechSalvager]

until around 2002 or so there were a few classes in Grand AM racing that eventually were shoved out and Grand Am became DP and GT cars only

[@doctorfunkopolis7311]

AGT was absolutely just Trans Am.

[@ryang1591]

I've never seen actual footage of this car running. I wondered for the longest time where it was buried.

[@Tiptoetherat]

Yup, Trans Am type cars had been racing in IMSA for years as GTO and GTS1 cars, this class (AGT) was the end of that era.

[@jeffvega2466]

Was that Saleen sponsered by the Tim Allen show Home Improvement? Thats awesome!

[@jeracerx]

Tim Allen actually drove for Saleen a good bit in the 90's

[@JamesCook-u9h]

He was a co owner and driver. His bosses in entertainment eventually got him to stop racing. He Borcheller and the car were very fast but it had a propensity to catch fire burning to the ground at Road America

[@cloud_line4595]

I miss Speedvision

[@SwineBrothers]

i'm looking at this field. apparently grand-am's gt was a home for drivers i've never heard of. oh, some big names here, but compaired to the alms from 2000?

[@racingmaniac2549]

Great upload. Thanks IMSA.

[@dustypilgrimmedia8423]

remember espn thunder and speedworld the USAC sprint cars had killer liveries for the era

[@VRossi4Life]

If you never watched Speedvision, you will never be OG

[@JamesCook-u9h]

Greg Creamer and I have been close friends for 35 years very funny story how he got his start

[@DaytonaPrototypes]

cannot bear it the way they made it widescreen :/ black bars any day of the week for me.

[@erictenbensel6590]

Brilliant!

[@JamesCook-u9h]

Lots of gentlemen drivers back then

[@RDC_Autosports]

saleen looks familiar 😏

[@JamesCook-u9h]

Throttle stuck twice and fire

[@pettymike45]

Wish they would get rid of the chicane but great track nonetheless.

[@nissangtpzx-t9529]

The current chicane has been redesigned, starting from the foot of the Back Straight - a better flow for the track IMO + allows for an extra overtaking spot on a track which doesn't have many.

[@JamesCook-u9h]

Chevy Leavy still at in in 24

[@JoelSmithR1]

00 probably should have been black flagged. Running around in 2nd gear
