Oh I don't mean he should have been power shifting, it's just that his shifts seemed very weak, like he was stumbling around in the dark. Making necessarily slow shifts still isn't an excuse for missing multiple shifts in one pass, unless it's due to mechanical problems (in which case, you need to slap around the guy that set the trans up). lol

Love these guys talking trash about how easy it should be. Like driving there 13 second cars is so much harder then shifting a car at 200+mph on SALT.

The roll cage did an awesome job and the guy seemed to keep his cool, before the car came to a final stop he was already unhooking the window net in case he had to escape.

Just imagine getting a cut and having the salt flying in the car, talk about pain lol.

Werd. I don't think people understand what it would be like at 250+

No doubt, that's 3 times faster than the Raging Bull roller coaster at Six Flags and that scares the daylights out of me. Rolling a car at 250 mph would definitely not be fun.

Salt is slick, I agree. This guy didn't appear to be a very good driver, I agree also.
