The Trans Am Series presented by Pirelli begins its seventh decade of competition at Lime Rock Park with its traditional Memorial Day Classic next weekend May 28-31.
The series and the track both have a rich history together, with Lime Rock Park having been the scenic setting for some key moments in Trans Am history. This Memorial Day weekend will mark the 30th Trans Am event at the high-speed 1.5-mile venue in set in northwest Connecticut.
Trans Am first competed at Lime Rock in 1967 - the second season of the series and the beginning of its “Golden Years.” Peter Revson won the opening event in Bud Moore’s Mercury Cougar. Mark Donohue won the 1969 round in a Roger Penske Chevrolet Camaro and won again in 1971 in a Penske AMC Javelin. In between, local standout Sam Posey and Parnelli Jones won in Ford Mustangs, beginning Lime Rock’s “who’s who” of Trans Am winners.
Trans Am returns to Lime Rock Park for the Trans Am Memorial Day Weekend May 28-31.
The gates are also open to spectators. Tickets are available here: bit.ly/33Z9Rxy
The full weekend will be live streamed for subscribers on the Trans Am by Pirelli Racing App: bit.ly/3fuBOm

Amen!!!!
I'm a rally fan and I couldn't agree more with you. Because this is the PURE motorsport. Not what we have today.
The best Trans Am season ever. Thanks for the upload.
damn beautiful seeing limerock in its heyday. how little track saftey there was is amazing.
In my opinion, the school bus Mustang and Chaparral Camaro are the best-looking Trans-Am cars.
Mustang Ford power forever baby keep on pulling the knot out of them boties and the horns off them mopars l love it
It starts at 0:37
Peter Revson's engine sounded like it literally exploded. Such awesome cars, and drivers. More please
I think that was some sound effects from the Vietnam War.
Revson's motor did literally explode. Due to oil starvation problem, it threw a rod and piston out the bottom of the oil pan and the car spun in it's own oil. Notice Donohue's Javelin went out with a oil problem.
I was there , I was 10. It was the Monday of Memorial Day weekend.
Platinum era of motorsport. When racing drivers go to heaven, this is what they do
Lost soul.
