- Up on deck today we have a SICK 11 second stick shift 1966 Pontiac GTO drag racing at National Trail Raceway during the Wednesday Night Street Drags 2020.
Become the meme and prevent stuck bolts: amzn.to/3fbRqLb
The Wednesday Night Drags is an open test and tune event hosted by National trail raceway on Wednesday evenings around 5pm and lasting until 9pm. It is a good time for racers of all types and experience levels to test their skills on the tree and see what their cars can do going down the strip. On a typical night you can find everything from someone practicing bracket racing with an old kia, all the way to NHRA Top Dragsters and no time grudge cars making test hits.
National Trail Raceway is an NHRA quarter mile drag strip located between Hebron and Kirkersville, Ohio, USA, off of U.S. Route 40. The track is located about 30 minutes east of Columbus, Ohio. It was first opened in 1964 and was the fifth largest facility at the time. It is also a PDRA member track that runs 1/8th mile outlaw door-slammer drag races.

I'm mesmerized by this video. The violent take off, the fact a car that big can go so fast instantaneously, the grumble and then roar of the engine. I can watch this car take off all day.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! It's been one of my favorite GTO runs that I've recorded in the last several years.
@@RPMArmy what track is this? I saw the ohio plate. I’m in Akron. Would love to see that car run
Me 4
This car is unquestionably the King of Muscle cars. After all it was Pontiac that invented the Muscle car segment
Absolutely a beautiful car ,with lots of power
Yup and I love that it’s a proper stick shift.
Granny shifting and still mid 11s, Hot Damn.
It's a sweet car
Even this Mopar guy likes this.
Thanks man! Hopefully Mopar Nationals will be a for sure next summer so I can go heavy on them again. I've already been asked to cover it, just counting on the pandemic to not ruin it!
Yes, I'M a GTO guy but I loved the 1969 Road Runner with the 383/ 4-speed.
@@tomm9860 you got good taste 😏
I have a '65 but the '66 in my opinion was the best looking GTO, love the taillights!
I only let him beat me, because I like those tail lights so much! Lol
Love them 90/10 shocks Back in the day a low 14 would be normal quicker possibly This car is poetry in motion Love the 66-67 goat’s
Yeah buddy!
Poetry in motion you said it. So cool hearing each gear.
Those 90/10's were the trickest thing at that time.
My dream car a 1966 pontiac GTO
It would be sweet
Well the really great stick car drivers are all gone now for sure...I haven't heard any of these younger guys keep the right foot planted grab the shifter and rip it back into 2nd then up thru 3rd ..these guys all actually lift off the gas and completely disengage the clutch ...Amazing ...I would love to show him How it's done ...
👍
@Michael Lav., I agree for sure. Powershifting is a lost art...thanks to bracket racing. Bring back class racing..."please".
His ET would be better if he didn't lift 3 times.
There is a great video of Grumpy Jenkins doing it the right way. That one is a must see. Never the less, I love this GTO.
Power shifting a difficult to replace aluminum case Muncie 4 speed(most likely a wide ratio box at that) isn't the brightest idea if you aren't interested in having a few extras and getting one worked on every now and then. The factory clutch linkage is hardly stiff enough to rely on as well. All the top 4 speed racers that were power shifting had modified transmissions, clutch linkage, shifter and had spent lots of time experimenting with just the right clutch.
Miss my goat.😢
Insane, wish I had it.
This Gto was on Src channel.street race channel. Bill hoskins
Not surprising. I’m from the same area.
The GOAT! 🤘
Yeah buddy 😬
Also, great POWER PMD all the way
10.90 car with right pilot behind the pedal !!! , Side step the clutch ,pull it into second like yah .mean it ... Still very nice runs .!!! .less than 3.4 seconds in each gear 😎😎😎
Right on!
Super cool Goat. Had the same car in 74/75. Triple black, 4 spd. (didn't run as good as this one tho.). Wish we could find more info and pics of it. Don't see it on RPM Army channel.
I’ve only seen the car that one time and never made it into the pits to investigate.
That's rollin'. I am bummed out over the taillights tho.
Losing time on the shifts. SWEET car
Prettiest GTO ever made.
Indeed.
I have to agree. I had a solid (no vinyl top) gold/gold '66, single 4bbl, 2 speed auto (boring). She was soooo pretty. Her prime accceleration was from about 35-40 to about 70, when she shifted into 2nd. That Powerglide-type 2 speed made her drink gas like crazy, but passing people from about 35 mph was a blast when she downshifted into 1st gear, tho. It would sometimes "scratch" (squeek the tires) when making the gear change on full throttle!
Very nice, gorgeous car
We agree!
Whats not to love!
shifts like my grandma!
Years ago I had a 64 and later a 68. I wish I never got rid of them
Nice!
I missed this car. I live 4 miles from National trails. Maybe next time
Yeah, the Wednesday night events always have some interesting cars show up.
I would like to know how you have your suspension set up? Adjustable 4-link? Maybe a rear control arm relocation kit? I assume drag springs and shocks up front.
Honestly, don't know much details about the car. Just did the event coverage.
Traction bars in this video
love it
Me to
Badass 😎🤘
😁👍
I hope it is a pure Pontiac. Otherwise it's just a another chevy.
that a big 10-4 I hope it's all PMD POWER
Hell Yeah!!!!!!!
My dad had this same body style GTO. He raced his own dad who had the side by side lights ( different year) . Lost his car to his dad cause of a DUI.
My dad bought a brand new GTO as a teenager. This is amazing I have sent the video to him. Fucking WOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
You're welcome!
Hope someone from GM was watching they sold out on Pontiac !
I hope so too!
My dad has one of these
Nice!
I would buy this car...
I would too!
me 3@@RPMArmy
Sweet car, looks like it bogs down outa the hole consistently as it bites... losing a little et there... can it handle a little more gear to keep the revs up? What's it twisting at the finish line now?
My guess to all these comments having a 1966 GTO myself is that he’s running a 5/6 speed transmission in it hence the first quick shift. Also, why he’s granny shifting as the kind of power he’s running is assuming right at the line of maximum on a 5 speed transmission and will scatter it if he doesn’t shift it correctly.
Or he just has a really nice car and the extra half second he could get out of isn’t worth it to him.
He needs to go to shifting school or develop reflexes one or the other.
ok.
@@RPMArmy special car though always wanted one, especially one that fast.
My mom can shift faster than that and she is 89
ok
