Go Trans Am - America's Road Racing Series is at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course this weekend with an impressive enrty list of 59 cars in TA, TA2, TA3A and TA3I. The series is running alongside the NASCAR Nationwide series and large crowds are expected to take in the action.
This weekend seems to feature more Mustangs and Camaros than we are used to seeing (meaning fewer Corvettes - which as far as this writer is concerned, do not belong in Trans Am) and a couple of SRT Dodge Challengers. The weekend also features the return of series veteran Tommy Kendall who will be driving one of the SRT Challengers. For those wondering what TA3I is, the entry list shows three Porsches (997, GT3 & SuperCup) and Dodge Viper.
Action gets underway on Friday with practice and qualifying (schedule details below) with the race on Saturday (16th) at 12:00 PM ET. The race is scheduled for 45 laps of the 2.258 mi (3.634 km) 13 turn circuit (101.61 miles) or a 75-minute time limit.
Following is the complete entry list with Canadian entries highlighted in yellow.
