k. We seem to be derailing a bit here...so I need some video to bring us back on course.
How about some electronic linkage action.
Old Age must be catching up with him and he does not want to shift gears anymore.

And I also agree that 1/2 of a mile isn't that far when your running fast. It does creep up pretty fast.... I have 1/8th 1/4 and 1/2 and 1 mile marked on the highway near my house. We marked it years ago for car racing. I haven't carried my sling down there and seen what it would do. And with the snow I won't be able to....
I can tell you (NA) that up to 1/4 mile you will be still spinning in third gear, I have done that on old asphalt with the rocks. BFG COMP 2 Summer tire
It's gonna be interesting to see what happens with my 6 spd against that Automatic, I know I spin my rear tire now at 100mph, (and that is in third gear), but i'm hoping that this new softer tire will help with that. Plus unlike the street, there might be some prep work done on the runway.

@rabtech, is that new auto of yours a 5- or 6-spd?
I was told it is a 5 speed
I was told it is a 5 speed
I was told both, and I don't know which is right. Hence my question.
5 speed.
The best bet for this whole deal is...
The elapsed time from gate entry to when the first person has to jack up their machine because something isn't "right".
My guess is 148 minutes, which will be exactly after the first run doesn't go good because a vehicle won't shift or loses power because it ran low on v-tech fluid. ha

V-TECH FLUID! I think i pee'd a little I'm laughing so hard....
@rabtech, are you gonna (or have you already) get a chance to try it out with the way the roads are up there. See where everything is iced up over there.
My Slingshot is still in South Carolina being run over and over on the dyno and the interstate like a thoroughbred horse. I'm headed up there tomorrow to load it up and head to Florida. I will make a few runs tomorrow when I get there. Shouldn't be to had to learn it's new quirks.
I had to come back home to do some work and sign some tax papers. And I had to get some clean clothes and pick up my sticky tires.

No driving on the interstate today, but definitely dyno time.
Have something custom for you being made also (besides all of the other custom stuff so far) that will be ready tomorrow night, should really pull everything together nicely

I was gonna say, no the eff it isn't!

I am feeling the love all the way in Alabama.... I love custom stuff.
I am giving my raptor just a little love today... Sonicelectronix had Rockford Fosgate 6.75" Prime speakers on sale. TWO PAIR FOR 79.00. They are not the best speakers but they beat the heck out of the Sony factory door speakers.
Pancake.......
I won't be able to hear my radio in my Slingshot. I have my radio out while it was being worked on.
So I will have to turn my truck speakers up really loud on my trip to Florida.
