History of the Fire-Am

On the web page below are pictures of a Fire-Am. What is a Fire-Am, The Fire-Am was created by a company called VSE (Very Special Equipment) Owned by Herb Adams. The whole point of the company was to build street leagle race car to be ran on the street or the track. Like SLP and AMG. in the picures on the website are of the 1976 racecar Driven By Herb Adams taken a LimeRock Park in Connecticut.This car was race in SCCA Trans Am class and the Body of the car was also designed by my father. The Fire-Am package was made for the street starting in 1977 and is still made to day, these are the fastest birds you can get nothing is faster. I will have more pictures soon on the web site so you can see what 80's one look like.
