interesting hurst tower on evilbay

I understand power shifting and all, but I don't understand why the indicator light for the A-833, other than DOT throwing a fit.

Reverse on a good Competition shifter has a pretty heavy detent to the left, next to 1st gear, which you should always be shifting away from. Have you ever tried putting an 833 in Reverse while moving forward? Its damned near impossible even when you are at speeds rivaling low idle and makes a hell of a racket. lol

Even when you're drag racing, it should be painfully obvious when you are in reverse, as you are staging. I understand the idea behind them, but in real life, I think reverse lockouts are as gimmicky as an Air Grabber.
