Vandalism
editI removed some vandalism at the end of the article. 67.188.172.165 04:56, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
Bob McLean, Mario Andretti and Don Wester
editWhile these accidents did happen on the same weekend at the same track, they were not in the Trans-Am race. McLean was driving a GT40, and the others were in Ferarris. Sorry, I was logged out on the edit. Cam Finnigan 15:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Marque representation
editI would like marque representation like on the NASCAR page. 24.4.131.142 17:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Here is an archive of the results for every race. I've already provided the five liter class for the Golden Era. The two liter class had too many cars for me to look up. This is from the sixties, so you'll need to scroll through this PDF file.

- Well, I guess I'm done. Sorry about the constant small edits. It was a big project getting all those years down. 76.126.15.78 (talk) 20:46, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
1986 Champion Dallenbach
editIf I recall correctly, Dallenbach won the drivers championship driving a Camaro for Protofab in 1986. Roush/Protofab split after the 1985 season, Protofab(Selix & Pratt) signed with Chevy with Roush staying with Ford. I'll try to dig further on this.

Seasonal Pages
editCould someone do seasonal pages for this league, a la IMSA GT? Info can be found at the Historic Trans Am website. 24.4.252.230 (talk) 05:32, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
- 15 years on, and we are behind again. '22 was never done and we're not prepared for '23. If I find time this month, I'll work on it. YellowAries2010 (talk) 09:07, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
Vandalism
editSomeone keeps changing this page, adding the Pontiac GTO/Pontiac Tempest and the Corvair under the General Motors section. I would like to state that the 1964 GTO could not have been used, as the league did not exist until 1966. Also, the Corvair is not a five liter car and obviously did not compete in 1965. Please do not make these changes anymore. Thank you. Retromaniac (talk) 01:14, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
Not Vandalism
editActually a privateer team used a 1964 Tempest in the series, it was headed up by Herd Adams, driven by Bob Tullis and nicknamed "the Grey Ghost". The car was legalized by the FIA in 64 and was thus legal to race in the Trans Am. The Chevy Corvair was not a 5.0 liter car, but nethier was the Dart or Mustang that ran in the first season ( the 289 CID is about 4.7 liters.) It was over 2.5 liters and thus forced to race with the faster Mustangs and Darts. It was never competative but it DID race in the 5.0 liter categroy.
The historic Trans am site WWW.Trans-ameries.com has plenty of SCCA archives that will bear this out.
I would have contacted you directly sir, but I'm not that tech savvy, thankyou. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.167.216.176 (talk) 01:03, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for your clarification. Perhaps we could divide the classes further. 24.4.252.230 (talk) 07:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
List of Cars
editIf the list of cars seems inappropriate and cluttered, perhaps the archive on the Speed World Challenge website can assist in creating seasonal pages. 67.188.45.27 (talk) 23:53, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
Help with seasons
editI have created seasonal pages up to 1977 so far. The 1966-1972 pages have been professionalized. I need someone to work on the 1973-1977 pages, as I am not skilled enough to do so myself. Thank you. AmericanLeMans (talk) 06:21, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
How long were the races? Etc.
editA suggestion: the article should include how long were the races and what kind of course they were run on.
Awkward phrasing
edit"DeAtley's major sponsor was Budweiser, which marked the association of truly major sponsor to the series."
Would the following be an accurate change? Source problem maybe?
