In late February, the Trans-Am Series kicked off its campaign at Florida’s Sebring Int’l Raceway with 47 names on the entry list for the series’ TA2 class. While the entirety of Trans-Am has undergone a resurgence of late, TA2 perhaps best represents the legacy of the series, which traces its roots to the pony car wars of the late 1960s and ’70s. However, TA2 and its approximately 500-horsepower, fuel-injected racers isn’t an undercard. “It takes a very good race car driver to not be intimidated by a TA2 race these days,” Clagett said. “There are over 40 (cars) and even if you’re racing for 30th position it’s a real race.”.
