[QUOTE="FireRed04Vert, post: 2514931, member: 21229"] Hurst sent me one of their Vertical Gate shifters to try out in my Stock Eliminator car several years ago. After a few races, I was pretty pleased with it...other than I had to take the trans out of the car to properly set it up. One day, my partner and I rented the track for some testing we were doing on some new combinations. I launched the car hard and went through 1st and 2nd gears. When I hammered it into 3rd (this was a pro-shifted Liberty Super T-10...you probably don't even need a clutch to shift it) for some reason, it went back into first gear. That did some REAL ugly damage to the engine. I had to replace all the valves and rods...timing chain broke...all kinds of things. That was the last run I ever made with that shifter.... [/QUOTE]
