What our American Muscle class really represents

Guys,

When I chose the name "American Muscle" for our fast American-manufacturer class, the cars I was referring to were the famous "pony cars" of the '60s and early '70s that competed in the then new "Trans Am" series. Trans-Am attracted all the big US car manufacturers - Pontiac, Mercury, Chevrolet, Ford, Dodge, AMC and Plymouth. The models that competed were:

Pontiac's Firebird
Mercury's Cougar
Chevrolet's Camaro
Ford's Mustang
AMC's Javelin
Dodge's Challenger and Dart
Plymouth's Barracuda

Following is a really interesting web site link that provides a bunch of information about the historic Trans Am series of that era, including pictures of almost all the cars that competed. Check it out and enjoy:

Hope this clarifies the eligible cars for the class and sets the mood for your future FRC American Muscle races.
