I need to go to the drags one night and just watch before I even attempt to run my truck. Lol.
I'll be the guy they send home for going the wrong way!!!

I find it very hard to get good starts when I'm in drag and trying to keep my skirt up while racing.

I have seen dudes reverse to back up from going too far forwards at the timing light and forgetting they're in reverse. Soon as the light drops they floor it -- IN REVERSE!
It's as hilarious as it sounds.
It's very hard to learn to drag race from a article, it can be helpful, but there's nothing like doing a few hundred runs to really get the hang of it, and listening to the advice of the best driver's you can find. It really is difficult to have everything go right on a run, much less repeat it several rounds in competition.

Haha. That's what I was thinking. I think I've used the shifters twice since I've had it. Useful in autox I imagine.

The only time shifting yourself is better than auto, is if your auto-crossing the SHO.4DRHTRD said:
