Trans-Am didn't use "The Boot" in the late 1990s because it was run on the same weekend as NASCAR's then-Winston Cup Series event. Since NASCAR didn't use "The Boot", SCCA utilized the 2.45-mile "short course" at the Glen during that time as well.
@@thomashamilton9046 At 9:50 look at the tire wall on the right (next to Kendall's nameplate). That leads to the Boot, an alternate route on the track used by some competitions. IMSA uses it for their 6 Hours at the Glen. The Boot path returns to the main track on the other end of that same straight.
The Camaros look like they came right off the showroom floor, a testament to how good this car really was back then, the Mustangs needed a lot of help back then, they look nothing like production Mustangs.
This generation of so-called racing is definitely not stock body racing, these things are specific track car's only even too the point of what circuit they will be on. The 1960's generation is the actual showroom stock car's that people could actually buy because they seen them on a Sunday & bought the following Monday and some are stupidly worth a mint especially at the buyers premium money Grab so-called auction houses, like kissiyou, jarret backson, & the rest, All driving the numbers up at every horder meet. But this video are definitely not production car's, there built to either win or wreck simply put, & repeat because of the huge money in advertising.
Hearing the old TNN theme after this many years makes me happy.
Beautiful
Racing is going on in many different portions of this ever so tricky course
Greg Pickett won another W. coast TA race last week 8/2/2020 at Thunderhill... still at it
What? He's has to be at least 65 at this point, if not older, right?
@@RandysRacingPlace633 He also set a new track record... Guy is a stud
Just gotta love Dorsey
If he did a 360 the hard way
Why didn't Trans-Am use "The Boot" back then?.

A better shot of the junction would be @ 23:35
