Ugh. That one hurt to watch. He was reefing the bejeezus out of the shifter...but not shifting that fast.

In my stock '92, I have measure shift times (clutch in, to clutch out) of less than 0.2 seconds...which I am fairly proud of.

At Infineon, we have only 1 Wally race a year. Made it to one final a couple of years ago and LOST. Won a $1000 points race last year on Memorial day, though. Can't buy a Wally with that (haven't tried ebay yet!). Willie
