69 GTO SCCA PDX Road Atlanta

[jtwoods4]

Hey everyone

Guess I am getting a 5 speed transmission sooner than I thought. Blew the Super T10 transmission at the SCCA Road Atlanta PDX on the last lap of the day. But man it sure was awesome!

This video is 4 laps, Last lap transmission goes out while about to pass a BMW 330i. What's funny is that Jim at Central Virginia Machine said that transmission would be the first thing to go after installing the monster engine. You called it Jim.

Anyway, Road Atlanta was awesome depsite the problems. In 3 weeks we are off to Savanah for a 2 day NASA race. Hopefully I can get the 5 speed installed by then.

Thanks to my SCCA Instructor Jim Ellis we got the car off the track. He said to put it in 4th and sure enough we still had fourth gear. I was ready to pull over but he guided us off the track and into the parking lot.

Anyway, enjoy the video.

Very good line in turns, perfect for a heavy GTO...George

I heard a rattling noise throughout the video... was that your tranny?

That was my Hurst shifter handle. It has a small lock nut that goes on before the handle and that was set in the wrong position causing the handle to rattle.
