Mastered the lost art of powershifting!! Old skool ...That's what I liked about the Grumpy video in the other thread. Some people never get it and need to see it first hand.Never lift.....ever!!

Pretty much text book, nice work Owen...but having been there it's easier said than done! And the fact that this is after walking it out on the Polyglass is lost on most folks... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/worship.gif[/img]

I am trying to summon the courage to powershift my Muncie. Just haven't got there yet. One question - I'm assuming you preload the shifter before bumping the clutch. How hard can you pull on it without it coming out of gear? Any other tips for a &quot;first timer&quot;?

I think I may install a rev limiter before I ever practice... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

Very Nice! Nice burnout too. It didn't have the proverbial &quot;stompin out a brushfire&quot; look to it.
