I kinda miss going to KCIR ... in some weird masochistic sort of way... :D

Not only does the car look damn nice, it's a helluva good runner, and the driver's got some VERY quick shifts goin' on there. (His left leg is a friggin' blur in the first couple of gears.)

If I had a TKO I could bang gears faster than hell all day, it just sucks that I have a beat up T5 that whines and grinds like a sumbitch.
 
That shifting is nothing to write home about. He's just granny shifting quickly. Nothing impressive at all.


:lol: reminds me of the time when i had the 84. had an SROD 4 speed in the sumbitch. went to shift from 1st to 2nd and the stock shifter (which is 2 peice btw) came apart and ended up punchin myself in the face and breaking tha nose. that was the 1st time i cried in a car:rlaugh:

Haha. Can't say I've punched myself in the face shifting before. But, I thought I put my hand through the dash one time on a 2-3 with grease on my hand. Luckily no damage was done, and I still made the shift :D
 
Done that, myself, when the lower bolt of my shifter wiggled loose and dropped out during a quick 2-3 shift. Wound up taking a nice meaty chunk out of my second knuckle because I hadn't bought a replacement trim bezel to go around the A/C controls, and that sucker's got some sharp edges on it ... or at least it seems sharp when you go punching it like that... :eek:

Even if you call that "granny shifting," it's still better than I can manage. But then, I have to drive my car a little less psycho than I should to net times, because I have to still be able to drive the thing home after hitting the track and then drive to work the next morning. :D
