Upshifting on the track

[pharaohjb]

Thanks for the input, guys. I've certainly been doing it that way (shifting at or near redline), but I was just curious if that was really the *best* way to squeeze all of the acceleration out of the car.

Example of my last (my second ever) DE below. Brainerd International Raceway has a ~1 mile long straight, into a banked, high speed right hand bend. The first half of of the straight is usually used for top fuel and/or funny car drag racing.
