LOL!!! Gotta love it! While I was tuning a customers car, my son took my floor jack and put it under the front of his '55 Chevy pedal car, lifted it up, and pretended to be working on it. He is almost four as well. My Dad has a '55 Chevy with a 454 in it, so needless to say....he thoroughly enjoyed the pictures.

What I found out was that if I slammed 2nd I couldn't go into third very quickly...as if I was on the stock master cylinder, I'd have to wait a 1-2 seconds to get into third, but if I quickly put it into second but not slam it I can get into third quicker. Can't wait till next time and I'll try speed shifting (i thought never letting foot off floor was power shifting?)

Yeah thats a good buddy of mine Jaime, runs pretty good. He has done a few things to it recently but hasn't had the car tuned yet. I have seen the black shelby and whoever owns it lives right down the road from me.

Oh OK, I saw a decent looking female driving it she had her daughter with her @ auto zone getting air fresheners. I haven't talked to Jamie but one time and a guy I worked with on the rig said it was slow but I haven't work on that rig in 14 months.

Power shifting only picks up ET with rookie drivers
I always run faster shifting the regular old way. It is good for killing stock pushrods or popping pistons if you have good pushrods when you miss 3rd. And I don't care how good you are, sooner or later you will miss 3rd
This weekend at TRRP everyone with slicks or drag radials gets to TnT for $10. They are trying to get some rubber on the track

Yeah she will drive that thing to, i see her passing by the house all the time. Jaime's car has run mid 12s but should be a little quicker now with the new mods.
