Trotnow built Corvette
By now I’m sure most people have seen that the Trans-Am Series has released their 2012 race schedule. Eight races with the possibility of an additional two more.
Most of these tracks are at the traditional Trans-Am venues and are in the Eastern part of the U.S. as well as the annual trek to Mosport.
While I am sure that some people are disappointed that VIR is not on the schedule, all in all it seems like a good schedule.
According to the press release that accompanied the announcement, reducing travel costs was a major goal. And supposedly this was reduced by about 40%. If so, this can only help the teams that continue to support this series.
So now people can begin to finalize their plans, arrange sponsorship, and of course get the cars ready.
I really think that this will be a turnaround year for the Trans-Am. The new mangement/owners group actually has skin in the game. And they have all been involved in it for years, so they know what works and what doesn’t.
One thing that I would personally like to see is more participation by the club racers who normally race at the tracks the series attends. While I know that the intimidation factor is there. Think of what great water cooler conversations it would generate.
So now we know. I look forward to seeing many of you at the tracks this year.

Nice Car! I helped build this chassis, makes me miss the days of Trotnow racing.
Good to hear from you! Last I heard the car was owned by a customer of ours down in South America. He had bought several of the Trotnow cars. Was very pleased by the fit and finish of the cars.
However he sold this car, and bought a Porsche Cup car out of Europe. When the engine blew he discovered how expensive those cars can be and I think it ultimately put him out of racing.
I am curious about one thing though. And I suppose I should just call Trotnow. Where did all the suspension bits for those cars come from? I didnt think you guys fabricated that stuff.
