Default 64 GTO Roadracing Video, check it out

Here is a video from the other day, the car ran great once again thank you Shaker455/Jeff. It was very hot that day and I took it a little easy on the car when you start to push the car really hard the oil temp gets over 240 degree. I believe it is due to the block being half filled. Next time I go to the track I will go on a much cooler day. At the end of the video it gets a little choppy, it is not your computer.lol Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpW3k5vnzXo

How'd you like the new track? It's only a few miles from my house and I was thinking about joining. It's a lot of coin though!

Thanks for all the great feedback, I am glad you like the video and the car. The track is really cool, they are not done with the facility they are about 90% done. When they are done it will probably be one of the nicer racetracks in the country. We were the first club to go on the track and it was still very fresh. The morning started out with a Mustang oiling the track down and just before I went out on the track for this video a C5 corvette stuffed it into the tire wall at pit in right under the bridge. So needless to say with that and a lot of people going off the track I wanted to take it easy and finish the day with no problems. People were saying they were having handling issues because there was not enough rubber on the track but my car was handling very well. You can see in the video there is not a lot of steering input, just steer it and it goes. The car is very neutral. I would like to go back and try the Lightning course which is not as technical but a faster track.

Just remember to take your video camera with again the next time you go out there.
