1987 SCCA Bendix Trans-Am Race Sears Point, Sonoma, CA 1 of 5

1 of 5 Some great racing at Sears Point in the 1987 SCCA Bendix Trans Am - including some really cool in-car video of the Roush Merkur XR4Ti beasts, in their 4cylinder turbo trim during this race (later converted to V8 -- note I raced against these cars up in Portland at last years historics race, you can see some in-car of that on my channel as well) -- There are also some interviews with a very young Scott Pruett here too (Formula-1 Scott? :) ).

@wagnerov I'm enjoying the commercials as well... good stuff, and brings back some great memories from when I was a young 16 year old gearhead watching this, and reading an issue of "Car & Driver" road tests, featuring the 1987 Mustang GT vs 1987 Camaro IROC-Z ...LOL!!!
