TRIPLE SHOT SHOWDOWN COMES TO CLOSE AT ROAD AMERICA
September 3, 2015
Setting the stage for the 2016 celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Trans Am series, the 3-Dimensional Triple Shot Showdown concluded Saturday with the celebration of Trans Am’s class winners at the iconic 4-mile Road America circuit.
The Triple Shot Showdown was created to celebrate Trans Am racing at some of the series’ most historic race tracks. The first two rounds, at Connecticut’s Lime Rock Park and Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, set the stage for Saturday’s final stop and determining event, at Elkhart Lake, Wis. Each driver scoring the most total Trans Am points in his/her respective class at those three tracks was honored with a specially designed 3-Dimensional Services Triple Shot Showdown trophy.
The winner in the Trans Am class was Williamsville, N.Y.’s Paul Fix, who drives the StopFlex.com/The CarCoach.com Corvette. The TA2 trophy went to Jupiter, Fla.’s, Shane Lewis, driver of the 74 Ranch Resort Chevrolet Camaro. In the TA3 American Muscle class, the trophy went to Ernie Francis, Jr., driver of the Breathless Racing Chevrolet Camaro and, in TA3 International, the top finisher was Lakeland, Fla.’s Lee Saunders, who runs the Landsearch LLC Dodge Viper.
