official name thought,

incorporate "homecoming" into it somehow..

"AMC Trans-Am Homecoming"...

"AMC Trans-Am Homecoming at Road America"...

or some such, etc.

I wish Road America was closer.  One of my favorite boyhood memories was watching Donohue and Parnelli Jones battle it out at the 1970 Riverside Trans Am.  My mom bought us two of the best seats in the house at the top of turn six.

Already planning to attend.  The RA Vintage race is a must-see on my calendar every year.  Thanks for reaching out to RA.  They put on a heck of an event, and it would be great of them to support a bunch of AMCers getting together.  If they'd let us park at turn 5, that would be a prime spot for viewing  Not a ton of room there, so if 50 AMCs show up, another spot might be better.  Turn 13?

Update!
I have verification from the Historic TA organization that the following AMC's will be attending the Road America event:
1972 Roy Woods javelin
1968 Ronnie Kaplan Javelin
Likely the 1971 Penske/Donohue Javelin

Depending upon what happens with a couple of events before this , I’d definitely be interested in going to this. I already have all of my vacation scheduled but things can always change which would allow me to come.

I withdraw my previous comment. The border to the North should only be closed to keep Tony and the Canadians out. This would help protect the supply of beer in the states.

Huh? Road America is in Elkhart lake, Wisconsin. What does that have to do with crossing the border? Confused
