How to Race a 4-Speed Car

My buddy must have been absent that day when it was taught that you engage the clutch when shifting between gears. When he side steps the clutch in first gear...that is the last time he touches the clutch until the end of the race. He has been doing that since the 60's..I asked him how he does it...he said just dont think about it or you will miss the shift.

Anyway that is how he power shifts a 4 speed..

You just completed the second school of thought on this.

I always slipped the clutch off the line and aimed for the dimmer switch, side stepped on every gear while trying to put my right foot through the floor board.
