Starting Shift Point

And the faster the car, the most critical this becomes. YOu'd better be ready for that 1st to 2nd shift or you'll hit the limiter and goodbye ET and win light

Amen to that!! I still laugh at myself about my 1st pass in the avatar. Not that fast compared to many on here but a 1.51 60-ft time comes in a hurry!! I left the line and the car left so hard it threw me back in the seat and ole dummy's hand was firmly on the shifter and accidentally grabbed 2nd gear in the middle of it leaving. Oops!!

I got a shift light for the next time to the track to keep my big mitt off the shifter and just slap it when the light comes on. This taught me just much I love the Cheetah shifter!!
