I'll give him credit he's doing a pretty good job with those sticks .. My arms aren't long enough for that to be comfortable to me with those tall sticks.. I like the old school round shift knobs so I can grab the top of the sticks with my hands and have my thumb on the ball and the knobs in the palms of my hands .. I guess it's what your used too and comfortable with .. I'am impressed though..
Thank you for sharing that I enjoyed watching him work his magic

They aren’t real. Two of them are air shift. He’s slapping hands around like he’s doing something. Left stick is the back box. Middle is the main and right is just a hi-low. All that could be done one handed. He’s going to wear out those syncros by not pre selecting.haycarter, Bean Jr., exhausted379 and 7 others Thank this.

Back when I ran an R-model it had these fancy knobs when I first got in it. I snatched a pair of the plain black balls out of another truck that didn’t get used and swapped them out.Tall Mike, Lonesome, Another Canadian driver and 3 others Thank this.
