That looks toasty. Hope he wasn't too scorched.
Is there any video of this one?
Wrong class and wrong track. Never saw a video.
Is that even Ron Mancini's signature? The second 9 in 1969 looks suspect. Thought he ran the 1964 in SS/DA class and it was Dallas when the trans blew?
All the info and signature is bogus, and the neutral drop thing gets perpetuated because it sounds “cool”.
How can you say that, I personally saw it many times, then there’s the spinning the tires, stagged, before the lights came down? They all tried stuff BEFORE the high stall converters came about. THE reason Sox, Grump, Landy and the rest ran a stick. I imitated that trick with my car back in the 60s felt like the whole car was coming apart. Stopped that real quick. One big time factory racer carried 3 or 4 trans with him to each race. But I guess I’m dreaming, has been a long time. Like the OP said get the best parts in the trans for your peace of mind.
