My point exactly, Red Demon is the fastest awd h pattern 4cyl. Shep doesn't even shift anymore, he slaps a stick.

Still assuming huh, good you can still make yourself laugh

I was going by the sound and the vid doesn't show the shifter, no one ever mentioned the blue knob lol

Watch a seq trans vid, where they just slap a stick, sounds the same. If I'm wrong so be it, but that's just what it sounds like to me.

Haha you're funny! I never said that blue knob was his shifter. I was referring to how the shifts sounded. Thanks for enlightening me though

a note from John:

The 7.70 pass I concentrated on not bogging it so I did not have a good reaction time. He had me .2 out of the hole he ran a 7.86 @ 184 to my 7.701 @ 191. I wish I would have the left boost controller alone and left it like it was on the 195 mph pass.

I finally have the launch figured out and had a .090 and a .070 reaction time in the eliminations.. now if I can remember this spring.

I really screwed up the last 2 runs. The track was getting very loose in the middle and I must have been trying to get my hands back on the wheel quick and shifted 3-2 2 friggen times in a row. It went well over 13K and hurt the motor. I did have a best of 1.21 60 and a 3.36 330 in the first round of elim. tobad I threw it away.

BTW there were no finals. The track temp went down to 39 degrees and they did not let the pro street class run again for safety reasons.
