In Reply to: Missed 4th doing about 75 INTO 2nd gear!!! MORE posted by Zach on August 20, 2000 at 17:12:28:

At Willow Springs coming in to Turn 9, I went to downshift from 5th to 4th, got 2nd instead! Holy Moly!!!!! Damn near went sideways! But I too, think I caught it in time. I saw the needle jump and heard the engien roar - not too sure I had let the clubth fully out, but I did stonp on it as fast as I could react.

I had it into service since then, but haven't heard a peep out of the guys there - yet. But I sure would like to know just how high it DID get up to! I have had it dyno'd since then (doing some testing), and I didn't seem to loose any HP or TQW, so HOPEFULLY I am lucky!!??
