The Early Years: 1966-1969

The Trans Am series was founded in 1966 by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA). The series was initially intended to be a way to promote the sale of American muscle cars. However, the series quickly became a popular spectator sport, and it soon attracted some of the biggest names in racing.

The early years of Trans Am racing were dominated by the Ford Mustang. The Mustang was a powerful and relatively lightweight car, and it was well-suited to the demands of the series. Other popular cars during this period included the Chevrolet Camaro, the Pontiac Firebird, and the Dodge Challenger.

The Golden Years: 1970-1972

The late 1960s and early 1970s were the golden years of Trans Am racing. The series was at the height of its popularity, and the cars that competed in it were faster and more powerful than ever before.

The most dominant car during this period was the Chevrolet Camaro. The Camaro was a lightweight and aerodynamic car, and it was powered by a powerful V8 engine. Other popular cars during this period included the Ford Mustang, the Pontiac Firebird, and the AMC Javelin.

The End of an Era: 1973-1979

The Trans Am series began to decline in popularity in the mid-1970s. The series was hurt by the rising cost of fuel, the increasing popularity of stock car racing, and the of new safety regulations.

The Trans Am series was eventually discontinued in 1979. However, the series has been revived several times since then, and it remains one of the most popular motorsport series in America.
