Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
I can't believe you guys are busting Fred's balls over this. Somebody takes the time and R&D effort to bring something new to racers and he gets jumped on! If its not your "cup of tea" thats your privledge and right, but don't spout off on the man. Grow up.
Fred, I don't know you, but I think you've got an innovative product that many racers can use. Good luck with your product and thanks for your efforts. Danny Durham |

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
Looks like a slick deal to me. If I can race again next year I'll probably try it.
Don't guess there is any reason that key pad has to be on the steering wheel?

After years of frustration with cable operated shifters and internal solenoid valve bodies RPM switches and shift timer (all of which are on my car currently) This type of shifter is inovative I only have one suggestion make the buttons bigger to accommodate operation with gloves on. Fred, As Dan said, I too wish you Good luck with your product and thanks for your efforts.

THanks to both of you! Buttons: I myself use gloves and I can tell you the buttons are very easy to push. They are mounted just above flush with the case (so they don't get pushed inadvertantly) and only require about 0.05" of throw to actuate. THrough the inital design we definitely considered gloves being used.

Looks like a nice product Fred.
As a fellow inventor, I know how it feels to introduce a new and innovative product and immediatly have the nay-sayers nit-pick it. Good luck with your shifter.

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
I think it looks great!
I HATE the shifter location in my bench seat Wagon. This might just be the hot ticket! Thanks for posting this!

Re: A revolution in SHIFTING
Thanks for all the Positive feedback!
Just unloading from Cordova. Great weekend! My Dad runnered up and #1 Qualifier! I went -0.001 red, but SHIFT worked flawless! If I could drive like my Dad I might have something.
