Hi
As the owner of the Bob Estes Cougar Trans Am race car, I field questions about Cougar race history questions from the Historic Trans Am web site. I just received a question for which I have no idea of the answer. Evidently, a Cougar was entered in the 1970 Mt Tremblant Trans Am race for Michel Tremblay. According to some history that I have located, the car lasted one lap before withdrawing because of electrical problems. Does anyone know the story behind this car? Below is the email sent to me:
Michael,

Subject: Cougar question
Hello,
I am on the regulation group for CVAR in Texas, and one of our members has asked about a 1969 Cougar. He wants to know if one was raced in the Trans-Am in 1972 or earlier. I show a Michel Tremblay finishing last at Mont Tremlant in 1970. Do you know what year that car was?
Thanks,
