Sorry if this is old news...
Good news now if they will use the new pony cars next year.
After a two-year hiatus since its last Champion was crowned, SCCA’s Trans-Am® Series will return in 2009, with a planned eight-race schedule for the series which held its first race in 1966.
Five of the eight races were announced today at the Performance Racing Industry show, in Orlando, Fla., as well as the series’ title sponsor for 2009—Muscle Milk®.
A joint venture between Sports Car Club of America, Inc. and subsidiary SCCA Pro Racing, the 2009 Muscle Milk® SCCA® Trans-Am® Series will consist of six events in conjunction with some of the biggest SCCA Club Racing events across the country, creating powerhouse SCCA weekends, and two key professional events. Technical rules will be based on the SCCA Club Racing GT-1 class.
“There is a dedicated group of Trans-Am loyalists who have been working to make this happen since our last licensing agreement to operate the series expired in 2005,” SCCA President & CEO Jim Julow said. “The re-birth of Trans-Am begins in 2009 with a grassroots-based series that has the potential to grow in the coming years into a full professional racing series.
