2009 Trans-Am Series

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2009 Trans-Am Series was the 41st running of the Sports Car Club of America's Trans-Am Series. It was also the first official season since 2005. (Although the series held two races at Heartland Park Topeka in 2006,[1] the races were considered after the fact to be exhibition events and no championship is officially counted.[citation needed]). Tomy Drissi won the series championship over the seven rounds contested.
