Tell who ever is filming that you can't zoom in like that or the shakyness gets 100 times worse. lol

Looking good though, sounds like you've started shifting a little quicker.

Yeah, I was just glad to have someone there to film for a change.

I have been working on the shifting. Thanks!

I'll have it down pretty good this weekend. I will probably not be at Montgomery though. That is the same time as SEMA. I will be in Vegas and then going to California for the Super Lap BAttle finals. If my car is not in a booth, I might have someone else driving it for me though.

I just had an opportunity(I smoothed it over with the wife)to get the dogbox so I jumped on it. Now I just need to figure out how to pay for it.LOL I decided to go this route just for quicker shifts and the clutchless shifting. Less chance for error.

I still have all the love in the world for MFactory and will defend them to the end. The tranny I was using is a fine tranny(I still have it for backup), but it is no mystery that I can go faster with a clutchless dogbox. Like I said before, I just took advantage of the opportunity to get the dogbox. If I did not jump on it, I might never get to.
