The Group 6- 1966- 1972 Trans-Am race was won by a 1964 car. It was a fun race to watch and the lead changed several times but
John Hildebrand came through in his 1964 Pontiac Tempest/GTO # 49 for the win.

You can see the race results on the Laguna Seca scoring tower in the background as the Tempest comes off the track.

Bruce,
That GTA # 102 had quite a history. I hope you can read this..

Thanks Ken. Love the spare twin plug head sitting beside the Alfa GTA
See the big lift cam, a very short open duration, almost no wear pattern on the back side of the lobe. Guess it could be a fairly new cam.
Those heads are a very nice piece of engineering, you can see why they performed so well.
Great history ken on such a rare machine
You guys make it all so interesting so I am giving you a closer look at the 1967 GTA 1600 head.

More great pics Ken. Thanks for posting. Out of interest, do you know if the Audi Trans-Am car is privately owned or from the Audi museum?
Steve,
The driver of the 1988 Audi 200 Quattro # 44, was Richard Dean.
Here is a write up about the car.

Thanks Ken. Great info.
The Audi Quattro suspension set up is a very nice piece of kit, very well thought out and engineered.
If you have never driven a Quattro RS it is worth doing, guaranteed to put a smile on your dial!
Thanks very much Ken!
