If I'm wrong I can only blame my newfound experience with heavenly 3.31 gears and only having to shift twice down the quarter, however 1st is really the only gear I'm thankful for.
Damn only shifting twice? I'm at like 3-4 shifts by the time I cross the 1/4 mile. Last shift is close to the line but I forget whether it's before or after it.
