12 44th TOYOTA GRAND PRIX OF LONG BEACH HISTORIC TRANS AM CHALLENGE 1960s-70s American muscle cars roar back Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach fans will get an exciting look at the American muscle car power that defined the golden age of Trans Am racing when the historic machines race for the first time on the city streets in the Historic Trans Am Challenge. The 20-minute race begins at noon Saturday, April 14, with practice and qualifying on Friday. Trans Am, short for the Trans-American Championship, started in 1966 and runs today at selected tracks across the U.S. The cars racing here will be from the series original era, , including high-horsepowered Ford Mustangs, Chevrolet Camaros, AMC Javelins, Pontiac Firebirds and more. The drivers of that era were a veritable racing Who s Who: A.J. Foyt, Jim Hall, Dan Gurney, Mark Donohue, Parnelli Jones and George Follmer, among others. It s exciting, said Jones of the Historic Trans Am cars coming to Long Beach. Back then, the competition was so keen between the drivers, car manufacturers and even the tire manufacturers. The unique event will be sanctioned by the Historic Motor Sports Association (HMSA). The invention of the Pony Car with the introduction of the Ford Mustang in 1964, high performance marketing and the need to win on Sunday/sell on Monday all came together in the Trans-American Championship, said Cris Vandagriff, president of the HMSA. There were more factory teams competing in Trans Am than in NASCAR, with Ford, Chevrolet, American Motors, Plymouth, Pontiac and Dodge all slugging it out on the track. Since in the late 60 s and early 70 s, Southern California was the capitol of car culture in the U.S., then what better place to showcase that era than the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach with the Historic Trans Am Challenge.

42 44th TOYOTA GRAND PRIX OF LONG BEACH HECTOR CADEMARTORI: OFFICIAL RACE ARTIST Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where Juan Manuel Fangio was a household name, Cademartori was first influenced in racing in the mid-1960s by the European tradition and great drivers such as Dan Gurney, Jackie Stewart, Pedro Rodriguez and Graham Hill. He started out drawing Lotuses, BRMs and Ferraris in his note pads at school. I just always wanted to be in racing, Cademartori says. I wasn t a mechanic, designer or driver, so I used my art work to be in the racing business! In 1983, he moved to the U.S. after high school to specialize in motor racing art. His first official race poster in the U.S. was for the 1984 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach! His client list includes racing teams, corporations, magazines and private commissions such as Indy 500 yearbook covers, Lucas Oil, The Mitty, Sportscar Vintage Racing Association and Auto Club Speedway posters, national automobile and motorcycle magazines and book publishers, as well as many manufacturers. Cademartori races his 240Z in two vintage racing associations and currently lives in La Verne with wife, Florencia. His art can be viewed at authorsandartists.com.
