The thought of a 20 th Anniversary for the 20 th Anniversary Trans Am is a very good idea. And to tag on to another national event will definatly help out.
Here's a thought though: The 3 actual Pace cars were all driven to Indy by different press people from different cities prior to the event for promotional purposes. The 3 cities are Los Angeles, Boston and Miami. We could organize a cruise from each city and all arrive at Indy or the TA Nat's. This could get TTA owners from all over the country to participate, that is if they drive their cars. The magazine's would come out of the wood work to ride along, document, and photograph the event. LA might be a little to far though. We should actually start about 1200 miles from the final destination and run 300 miles a day for 4 days. It would be a blast!
After the small gathering in Dallas, 3 of us ran down the hi-way together for about 10 miles or so, in formation, and recieved many thumbs up and a lot of head-turning. I wish I had photograph that!
I recently drove mine from Texas to Atlanta for the Bandit Run and had a lot of fun cruising with 70 other Trans Am's. And yes, we occasionaly went over the speed limit. It ended at the Year One Experience that weekend. Hot Rod and Automobile magazine were on the cruise and then 3 other magazines at the Year One event. I scored a photo in this months GM Hi-tech magazine.
I like the idea in the other post about meeting for the TA Nats then cruising over to Indy for a night. Surely, the track would offer some type of hospitality for us.
This would require a lot of preplanning and some sponsors. Maybe some help hosting by local F-body clubs along the way too!
I will be in for whatever is put together....and it should be done in 2009

Sounds pretty cool to me! I won't drive mine but I'll trailer it. The press guy can ride in the car in the trailer :rofl: :read:
