I grew up in a stick shift drag racing family, so anything with a clutch pedal is near and dear to my heart. There is something about a stick shift car that just makes it more fun to drive, and even something like my Civic EG Hatch is a good time with a clutch pedal. But unlike an NHRA Pro Stocker, or any other car using a verticle gate shifter, the cars in the video below are all running H Pattern shifters which means there is some skill involved in shifting these things.
Most of the folks racing in these classes are flat foot shifting, but using a little bit of clutch pedal. They are not clutchless transmissions. So running 6’s with a clutch assisted, h-pattern shifter, is hauling ass and doing things in the car to make it happen. We love it and I know you will too.
Check out all the racing action below!
Video Description:
We were out at Street Car Bragging Rights at Rockingham Dragway, covering the top stick shift classes from Round 1 all the way to the finals.
This event brings together some of the fastest H-pattern cars in the world, and this year didn’t disappoint. We saw heavy hitters like Sean Madden in both his C7 and White Betty C6, Jon Rogers’ VK56-powered 240Z, the Red Demon, and plenty more serious builds all chasing the win.
