Default Yes it is possible!!

Not many people will admit it, but I've made that mistake already. Running 120 entering turn 14 at Thunderhill, downshifted from fourth to first on my ZF6!!! Its not fun emulating a whirling dirvish inside a Corvette at 100mph. Its a mistake I won't forget. four flat spotted tires!!

I'd say the chances are pretty good if you pull too hard. Basically slap it out of fifth, let the spring take it to neutral then pull back. Practice at low speeds until you develope a feel for it.
