I've watched the show a few times...what does it matter what car they drive really if they follow the speedlimit what kind of a race is that. From what I can tell they do. Could anyone tell me what the rules are.

I'm just joining the support team here, sorry for the dalay. I must say when I watch the show I have this feeling, not just a feeling that comes from supporting the Trans AM Team, but kind of a feeling that it's my car out there, does anyone relate to that? It's just awesome to have the F-body, and WS6 family represented on National TV like this. Awesome job you all.

Well I guess I will chime in here. Joining the support team even though the show is most likely completely filmed. Good job so far, one question mike. Did you really have the traction control on when you missed the glass?

here is the long and short on the traction control/abs. That was the first time I had tried the new suspension in a hand brake slide. The car sit 2 1/2 -3 inches off the ground an 11.5 tires the surface was sticky the goodyears were sticky and I thought the car would let loose. We went off the track going around the barrel and got in the dirt so when I finally got hooked back up and straightened it out I came to the glass pulled the e-brake turned the wheel and the car stuck, the abs was pulsing and the car just freekin turned. I was as stunned as anyone I even was laughing my *** off because I couldnt believe it. I tried it twice. The other problem was the car had to go thru the glass and you had to stop in the square or you were disqualified and if you hit it with the front of the car you were disqualified. To get the car to come loose I would have had to been flying and I dont think I would have been able to keep the big boy in the box. My daughter was also freeking out because she saw all of the damage to the Lotus and honda prior to the run. It all worked out.

THE CAR HOOKS UP!


Thanks for the support and GO TEAM TRANS AM!

Whenever Morgan took off from the checkpoint and she burned off the rear tires, as soon as it bounced off the rev limiter I thought they were in trouble. Then as she was going up the mountain the the line blew. I thought they were finished. Just a tranny line! That was close call. I thought it was kinda crappy of the other cars to drive right by since Mike actually lended a hand with his competitors!
