Description: When you think of Sonoma, California, road racing is probably one of the last things on the list, but that all changed in when two friends conceived the idea of a racetrack while on a hunting trip in the southern Sonoma Mountains in 1967. Located at Sears Point in Sonoma County, California, the original 2.520 mile road racing course was constructed on 720 acres and opened on December 1, 1968, with the hosting SCCA Enduro. Featuring 12 turns on a hilly course with 160 ft. of total elevation change, the track is still considered one of America's greatest road racing tracks. The track was renamed Golden State International Raceway, and saw a couple more name changes decades later, but is still in operation today as the Sonoma Raceway.
Description: If you lived in the Atlanta area in the 80s and 90s and were an aspiring road racer or enthusiast wanting to really bring it on track days, Victory Vettes was probably on your short list to get your Vette up to snuff. From high RPM racing engines and track tuned suspensions to custom roll cages and performance brakes, Victory was a one-stop shop to get your ride race ready.
Description: The American Road Race of Champions showdown at Road Atlanta in 1970 was without a doubt the most competitive grid ever seen in an SCCA national competition. The Datsun 240Z has just arrived in America and despite its sporty appearance, it was considered a non-starter as far as competition goes for a number of reasons. Of course, people make assumptions all the time, and more often than not, they're wrong, and that was certainly the case with the race-prepped BRE 240Z as it went on to rule the circuit and take the ARRC championship title in the end.
