Indy Car race event April 13/14.
HTA will practise Friday and have a 20 min. race on Saturday.

Any chance you have a time schedule for Friday? I woulnd't be able to make Saturday, but Friday is a possibility and Long Beach is a heck of a lot closer than Sonoma/Laguna

Gentleman driving my favorite car that I was completely beside myself to see--Gray Ghost--said that practice had killed the Pontiac, lack of oil. I asked details but he seemed busy. Really happy I got to see that car run.
I mulled around the T/A area for as long as I could but I didn't really have any other plans and it was only about 1:30 and I decided not to wait for the qualifying round and left. I saw exactly what I wanted to see and had a great time nonetheless.
Thanks again for the heads up Robert.

I couldn't make it down this weekend but thanks for posting pics.

No problem, I really regret not taking more in hindsight, but I didn't want to look like too much of a tourist. In all my excitement I somehow forgot to take any side/rear shots of the Tempest. Nuts!

The Historic Trans-Am website has put pictures up on their website from this race.
