One of our favorite events from the Monterey car week (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/monterey+2010) earlier this month was watching the field of 44 Trans-Am race cars tear it up at the Motorsports Reunion (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/15/monterey-2010-motorsports-reunion-track-action/) at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. The sights and sounds of classic Mustangs (http://autoblog.com/model/mustang), Camaros (http://autoblog.com/model/camaro) and Challengers (http://autoblog.com/model/challenger) battling it out on the track just like they did in the late '60s and early '70s was something we'll never forget.
The eventual winner of that race was a 1969 Boss 302 Mustang (which is now up for sale (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Team-Shelby-Trans-Am-Mustang-Winner-Monterey-2010-/170531515937?pt=US_Cars_Trucks)) owned and driven by Laguna Seca veteran Bruce Canepa, who has put up a video of his victory. The video shows that the win wasn't easy, as he traded places with a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A and a 1970 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 multiple times. You can watch the entire race in the embedded video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2010/08/25/video-trans-am-race-cars-battle-it-out-at-the-monterey-motorspo/#continued), and be sure to turn up your speakers.
