Great video and times. It looks like you need a B&M shifter too. Is that using the neat camera mount you have?

Awesome! Thanks for sharing the experience.
I find that I do that too in anticipation on the next shift; I hold my right hand up near the stick.

My first run was against an '06 Dodge Charger R/T Daytona. My second run was against a 73 Dodge Charger.

And yes, I did use my nifty camera pod to film this

One thing I learned when going from 2nd to third is this.

If you try to push strait up (which you looked like you where doing in a dorkish way LOL) you will often times get stuck. However if you push sideways and up it will go up perfectly everytime.

OK I was bored, its night time so ingnore the darkness LOL

Since he has colored inserts I would go with a no on that.
But Merc could have gone incognito on us.

Yeah, nice video. What do you have done to your car?

I miss third when I try and shift like that, I tend to palm the shifter with an open hand and just push up. It will hop over and line up no problem
