Tony Adamowicz comments on blog

I Co Drove with Bob Tullius at the very First Trans Am Race at Sebring. Although we were 2nd Over All, this was the first TA race in a Unproven Dodge Dart and the first over 2 liter Win for Chrysler Corporation. Bob and I co drove at various races through out the season and had another win at the Marlboro 12 hour race. Group 44 inc provided the most wins and top finishes for Chrysler corp. in the entire history of Trans Am Racing. Attached photo from my site: http://www.a2zracer.com/page9.html

I also drove in various TA races in the Group 44 Lotus Cortina, the race budget was no existent for this car to be really competitive. Reliability was also a big issue to overcome.
