Trans Am News!

Posted on March 28, 2023 by in What's New

Super proud of Brian Gluck and his team at Dark Horse Racing. This past weekend Brian drove to a 4th place SGT class finish and first place in pro-am category. Fastest cars in SGT were a pair of Porsche GT3 cup cars running 1:29.672 and 1:30.235 respectively. Brian finished a half second behind the 3rd place Mustang running 1:32.929 seconds. The car suffered a transmission failure and Brian had to run the last half of the race in only 3rd and 4th gear, giving up some time but staying in the race.

Congrats to the team and high hopes for an SGT podium finish next race.

NOTE: Team Dark Horse is also currently building a Type 65 Coupe R for later this season to campaign alongside the GTM in SGT class.

September 20, 2026

Congratulations to Jim. and Cecily T. from Heathsville, VA on graduating their Factory Five Mk4 Roadster build! They received their kit in April 2024. “I was in no rush since I planned on enjoying the build just as much as cruising in it.,” said Jim. “Goes back to my old drag racing days in the 70’s.
