Mellott Racing - New Projects

COMPLETED GTO PROJECT

Almost 40 years ago Bill was drawn to this car and there was no other car that captivated him more than the 1965 Pontiac GTO. So it only stands to reason that he would go back to the car that started it all.

The team blended the nostalgic style of a traditional Pontiac GTO with modern technology which is evident in our current Pro Mod. Now that the project is complete, you will have an opportunity to examine it more closely at a future racing events. We look forward to you stopping by and visiting with us in the pit where we will be happy to show you the car and answer any questions you have.

We started with a stock 1965 Pontiac GTO body and severely modified it in ProMod fashion to obtain some aerodynamic advantage and coupled this body with the modern technology available in today's chassis. The car and chassis was built to be able to control the horsepower we currently have and future horsepower increases we hope to obtain.
