Anyone who drag races please read

When you guys are crossing the finish line on a 1/4 mile track, what gear are you in, 4th????? Also there about in 4th, are you shifting into 4th as you cross the line? Or are you like midway thru 4th when you cross

^ I believe this is correct. With my TT flash I can ride 4th to 120 at about 7200 rpm.

Good lord, I got an EVO engine in my Galant with a 5 speed front wheel drive tranny. I had it out last nite, I can run 3rd gear to 115mph before I need to shift to 4th. I havent tried going high into 4th because I was already at 125 MPH+ on a street with a 50mph speed limit. Damn I cant wait to go to the track.
