I know a lot of the people that ran in the short lived Vintage 2.5 Challenge are members of this board. Here is a little clip to bring back memories of our 2001 Laguna Seca race. Remember how much fun we used to have?
To re-start the thing you need people to run/administrate it, a sponsor and some participants who understand the concept and are willing to play by the rules. The loss of any of the above makes it tough- it's alot of work and the pay sucks! We've been thinking about "getting the band back together" but so far it's only been in the discussion stage. Fred.
Awesome flick! Great to see someone else spin at Laguna Seca - back when I time-trialed I spun twice in turn one and once in turn eleven (should I be proud of this?!?)

The whole "2.5" thing... (i.e. the Trans-Am post '71 re-dux) just doesn't cut it for me. The glory days of Trans-Am U-2 ended with the Datsun buy-out at the (extended) end of the season @ Laguna Seca.. the era of "510's" and "sort-of GTAM's" was really only a coda to the times when Lee Midgley charged to a re-po avoiding win at Mt. Tremblant... or the firey crash of Vic Provanzano at Kent in the rain... The "2.5 Challenge" was a ghost of the Trans-Am era (with over 2 liter on the track WITH Under 2 liter cars) Just MHO.
Why don't we strive to revive a real Trans-Am series with the Big Bore "A Sedans" AND the U2 cars from that era... It was a blast then and should be the same now!
