Congrats! One and done at each track sure gains you hours...doesn't happen often with the higher hp cars..and with a stick! Thanks for bringing another orange helmet back to Canada!

You guys are my heroes! You make the guys who tow their cars couple of hundred miles to the first track look like chumps IMHO I love watching you race and drive. I hope someday I can do this race with my son.

Is there a Youtube channel following the T/A? None of the regular ones following the race had any feature on it.

Thanks.

Hagerty just posted this video with Tony Angelo. Not as fast as the old masters but still fun Pontiac power. https://youtu.be/MeqYM57s9eY

Nice article! I met Rich at Gainesville Raceway this year at that event. It's amazing how fast that car is, stick shift and all, and still weighs over 4,000 pounds. Add in the fact that he drives it from Canada to Florida and then races it... it's really an impressive story.
