The door on golden era of Trans-Am racing slammed shut towards the end of 1972.
Blame the exodus of the factory efforts, blame the 1973 oil crisis, blame the declining interest in pony cars, blame the rising popularity of tube-frame race cars, blame the inclusion of FIA cars.
No more Mark Donoh…
Trans pulled me away from Volvo 544s & 122s when I saw the BRE Datsun 510s coming up the hill at Watkins Glen trans AM. Bought one Monday morning. That was a long time ago. Loved the racing. My wife got a ride in Ron Fellows treas Am car. I was not invited so I bought a 240Z. Still have it today, but my real love has always been Morgans. The Rover [Buick] makes the difference.

This car popped up in my search feed while looking for something else. What I was looking for, I forget, but I recall seeing these cars before. As I started to poke around for a minute, I saw that there was a story there worth sharing.
