Warning! If you are a fan of kick ass, stick shift drag racing, the sensation you experience after watching this video may last for more than four hours. If that is the case, call American Powertrain and buy a transmission. That’ll fix you up. Even with that new transmission, you still won’t be Mike Crow, though. Crow is Drag Week’s most decorated and slickest stick shift racer. For years he raced his 1973 ‘Cuda, but in 2012 he showed up with a refrigerator white Dodge Dart with poverty caps, a five speed, and a W9 headed small block Chrysler engine. It screamed out an amazing tune all week and it was a true pleasure to listen in to those instantaneous shifts Crow made.
For those of you afraid of driving your stick box equipped street machine or drag car too aggressively, call Mike Crow. After watching this video a bunch of times and seeing that car live from Tulsa all the way back to Tulsa again, the dude is qualified to teach a clinic on the subject. Listen to this thing WAIL!
Press play below to see a true stick shift zen master get after it!

Classic Mopar Suspension–Notice how the WHOLE car lifts under acceleration- that is the way it was done “Back in the Day ” .

Whew check the scrubline. I wonder how he passes tech with what looks like part of the caltrack or other traction device hanging below the scrubline/ bottom of the wheel rim when stopped and goes almost down the the track when he is launching or shifting.
