1968  Trans-Am

  Series Champion, cont.

Tony a2z won 6 out of 10 Trans-Am races in 1968

This shot of St. Jovite shows the #7 amidst the big bore cars.  We won the race, only to be protested for larger "S" valves by the white car.  It was driven by a Canadian long-time Porsche driver.  We returned the complement and protested him to tear down as well.  It seems we were legal and he had the larger " S" valves in his engine.  Go figure!

   This picture depicts preparing for one of my jobs of removing the engine for gear changes.

    We did this quite often on a weekend, with a 2 liter engine in Trans Am against the big bore guys, we always got the just right split in gears.  The idea was to beat as many of the Big Bore cars as possible.

    Our oil lines were quick disconnect to keep the oil in the dry sump along with quick electrical cannon plug that disconnected all wiring with one twist of the wrist.

    I was able to remove the engine and trans in about 20 minutes, it became quite a show during the Trans Am season.
