Trans Am event at Road America

Hello there, I'm planning to go to my first ever Trans Am race weekend at Road America this summer. My main question is what the weekend schedule is usually like, I don't see anything posted on RA's website or on TA's website. Also any tips for a first-time fan at the track would be much appreciated.

Hey thanks for the reply! I'm a big Boris fan so that would be awesome to see for sure. Yeah I live in Texas but will be up in Wisconsin for that week to visit family and was looking for other things to do and noticed this on the schedule! I unfortunately can only be there Saturday, but it sounds like no matter what cars will be on track that day so its worth the trip!

There will also be a ton of vintage cars, and Boris will probably be driving either the car that I work on or it’s sister car if Paul Menard drives, but if we’re there feel free to come by and check the cars out and you will probably see Boris and/or Paul Menard at some point.

Yeah I'm looking forward to it, Road America is one of my favorite tracks and can't wait to see it in person. So a general admission ticket will let you into the pits? That's cool if so!

There’s only general admission tickets, but it’s essentially an all access pass to the paddock, and fan grid walk on pit road before the race. However anyone without a pass can not be on pit road during on track activities. But again you can get right up to the cars and usually the guys running vintage love to talk about their cars, and most of the Trans Am guys will answer pretty much any questions about their cars as well.
