[@CHUUMPASS]

Belle Isle is a beautiful racetrack, very unique and always a favorite regardless of what kind of racing takes place there.

I was a kid then, growing up near Riverside. I saw ALL this then at R.I.R. Thanks for the post!

[@DiegoT]

i love trans am! cheers from Brazil!

[@johnpaulmierz6978]

the picture at 15.08 is at Seattle international raceway in 68 or 69 I was 13 teen and 14 teen years old there at both of the races had to wait 5 years to have my 69 Z/28 that I still have today at 61

[@fozzy0266]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for posting this. Don't get to see any of these races.

[@peterlanglois65]

Great race and loved the nostalgic bits sprinkled throughout the coverage. I saw a lot of those drivers and cars in the 80s.

[@vonte88]

I love how the challenger races in trans am racing just as they did in the 1970s

[@Lucas_inTheLIGHT]

Seeing how good the racing is here and how the cars are right now, NASCAR should run a race here during the season

[@healthtips14097]

Thank you very much for this race. Good work!!!

[@Dethmeister]

They should have let em race in the rain to the finish. Let em decide to come in and get rain tires or stay out. I think there's way too much attrition for these short races though. Trans Am Series needs to work on reliability and also multi-class racing techniques and skill. I love the series though and thanks for the video uploads.

[@alexandercarabitses8081]

I would love to see big teams like Penske and Roush start fielding cars in this series again.

[@ahawk91]

My favorite series at my favorite track what can beat that? 😅

[@fathermetalASMR]

I'm here for the Dodge's. 🇺🇲🤘🤘

[@Speedlogix]

Love this!

[@DavidJSmith-hl6kb]

Congrats on the Ford Mustang for taking the Win in the TA-4 Class!...Go Ford!...First On Race Day!...and God Bless America!

Michael McDowell an old team mate from Phx. Az. , karting!! Stone Staging w/ Pure Karting

[@t6t6t6lag]

Does the lead commentator know he does NOT have to talk over every second of coverage? And yes, I do realise by posting this comment I gave the terrible commentating another +1 on the view count. Please, just make him shut up. Save of the century by the driver in turn 1 that slid and missed the wall. Tremendous driving.

[@swallowmyplantain3337]

Literally so fucking bad

[@monstergamer8351]

what time and channel do they air these races.

[@Dethmeister]

36:04 "The team would win a total of 20 races with Jack Roush in that number 11 machine." Hehe Did Jack drive or ride as a passenger?

[@csonkaperdido]

WHY DOES ADAM ANDRETTI LOOK EXACTLY LIKE KYLE PETTY!??!

[@fatman1288]

i miss when they looked identical to stock cars these are full blown race cars

[@v1nc3mc]

Yea, I agree.

[@LincolnFStern]

agree as well. It's not like the stock cars are bad, I'd gladly drive most modern muscle around a track with no serious mods.

[@blackpeople7927]

Connar Downes that's more exciting

[@moto_rad]

That is what the TA4 class is

[@Steve-eq8iz]

IMSA's Continental Series is basically that.

[@mortenfrosthansen84]

What you need is a new Shelby or Brabham.. a guy that buys good chassis and make them better. And are able to make deals with manufacturers, in order to make affordable customer cars.. Which then feeds the race series with improved production cars, just like it should be. Instead of a futuristic road-going Batmobile or $450.000 luxury cars made more expensive.. That's for F1 to have wings everywhere and Le Mans to have supercars with a spoiler and sticky tires

[@csonkaperdido]

Dumb question : TA1 is the "big boy" class and pure racing cars... Tube frame, non production engines? TA2 is basically the same as TA1 just with less power and less aero..? Are they production based engines? TA4 is production based - so probably similar to GT4 spec I assume? Now the dumb question - Where, and what, are the TA3 cars?

[@dalemyers9265]

I think John Baucom had something to say about that.

[@dalemyers9265]

I would love to see trans-am get back into a 4 cylinder group cars.

[@the_OG1893]

No way. Trans am has always been about American muscle.

[@jamesmanning2711]

+HDskunky exactly and it should stay that way :D

[@MrTakaMOSHi]

Not always. In the beginning, there was a Under 2 liters class where Alfa Romeos, Fiats, BMWs, and Datsuns ran.

[@NickKautz]

In the 80's there were a bunch of turbo 6 cyl cars, and a 5-cyl audi that showed up and blew everyone away. But yeah, when I think of the trans-am series , I think of 60's and 70's muscle. Now the TA class seems like they're all running the same chassis and engine but with different bodies.... That's not how you capture viewer/sponsor interest. A series needs diversity to build popularity, some way for viewers to pick something to root for other than a driver that they've never heard of.

[@JackFN_VR64]

except in 1988 when that american muscle got raped so bad by Audi 2 liter euro boxes that they went full protectionist and banned everything that is not 'american muscle.'

[@darkphase777]

more ta4

[@daltonbedore8396]

adam painfully inconsistant... the three-wide move was totally amatuer

[@mjt-ew8rs]

looks and drives like an Andretti. but not mario

[@rahkinrah1963]

+drives like one-aggressive and careless. The Andretti family has probably knocked more racers out than any other "racing family".

[@aussi3212]

i hate the fact the TA2 cars use a spec LS3 based engine , it kills the buzz

[@aussi3212]

okay just did some research there is a ford combo and the challangers have a hemi :)

[@azsportscar8071]

20:20 Accident

[@silverado035]

I prefer the pirelli world challenge.

[@FullOilBarrel]

murica

[@shaadydog1]

How corvette like can we make a mustang.... ffs nascarized racing at its finest

[@robertoarkenburg6652]

shaadydog1 That’s just one class, and it needs to look like that to be competitive aero wise. There are stock chassis and/or stock body mustangs in every other class (and great racing) and that’s what you focus on? Don’t be be so negative.
