Default Re: What would you do in a bumper scraping wheelstand?

he put his shifter into high gear
This would be OK if he had a H pattern shifter, but if it were a inline shifter it would take a lot of stumbling & fumbling to get to High gear. It apperars Travis hasn't driven a inline shifter in some time!

A few years ago a local S/S racer here in Louisville broke his wheelie bars and started to climb way too high. Realizing something was wrong he put his shifter into high gear, skipping second gear. Still under power the car settled down smoothly after the transmission shifted into high gear. All that was damaged was the broken wheelie bars.
