    I'd take that bet and put you in a station that will make your head spin. Lol we had some real clusters down in Los Angeles.

    The key with backing is to not give up!! Also, get out and look as often as needed. Every back that does not result on a preventable is a success.

    Don't let rpms drop so low, try a higher rpm when you down shift, you know where the troubles at with rpm. step on throttle to raise it a tad iin-between shifts if needed.

    Don't try to use the jake to kick the engine down for upshifting. It has no value. Ive done it for showboating purposes or when you really need to get it moving right dam now.
