This weekend I was a chaser car (filming my friends drag racing).
Like a moron, I was watching them instead of watching my RPMs. I bounced off the rev limiter going from 2nd to 3rd. And 3rd to 4th.

How bad is this?

 

not bad at all, just dont do it everyday.

 

how about when doing burnouts/donuts?

 

link?

 

thats bunch of horse crap. im pretty sure its fine ive done that lots of times, and i still fly around.

 

and it didnt explode on the spot!?

heh, your fine. rev limiter is nothing aweful, its there so you dont break anything, not so it can do the breaking.

 

You do better doughnuts when you are on and off throttle.

i've never tried doin a burnout or dinuts yet in my car, how does it work? do you keep it in first or second gear?

 

 

woops double post

 

For burnouts:

Dump clutch in 1st and while you're spinning you can shift to second.


or................

You can powerbrake (dump clutch) when it starts spinning hold brake with left foot.

For donuts, floor car and turn wheel

 

Thats nothing. I was at the drag strip yesterday and somehow did a 3-2 downshift instead of a 3-4 upshift at about 85mph. Our tach only goes to 8, but the needle went well past that, probably somewhere between 8500-9000 for about a second or less before I got the clutch back in. Talk about scary!

No damage though, did 3 more runs with equivalent times and have good oil pressure still.

 

All of you must replace your decelerator bushings and top off your windshield washed reservoirs before driving your cars again.

 

do it all the time.. not to worry...
