That would be the 1988 season Trans-Am car. The 1989 IMSA GTO car was a
purpose built race car (the Trans-Am car was quite "prepared" as well).
I have quite a number of shots of both of those cars in action from Laguna
Seca and Sears Point. None doing wheelies though.
BTW, on the speedvision message boards was a post from someone who got the
sequence of the Porsche GT1 doing it's 1 and 1/2 gainer at Road Atlanta. Talk
about getting air!
Anyway...someday I will get some of my shots scanned to put up on a site. For
now, real prints only.
