Power shifted?

Not to sound like an old man but as Kevin stated all the safety gear does take the fun out of racing on a hot day. However since speed is an addiction plan for going faster and have fun, it’s only money.

Here's how I interpret power shifting..it's using the clutch to shift but you are holding the throttle wide open...
 Granny shifting to me is using the clutch and letting off the throttle during a shift...which is what your video tells  me you do...
 You really need to buy a jerico....it's the only oem style tranny that will hold up...g-force is not durable...
what you need is the dr4-4 clutchless.....
 I have just the regular dr-4 clutch assist..but I shift it clutchless...I shifted it with the clutch the 1st year I had it...when I went to the advanve clutch I started shifting it clutchless and have ever since...
 I have been driving it on the street some lately with the smaller engine in it.....it is not really street freindly in the aspect it sounds destructive...I tried double clutching but found myself just shifting it clutchless on the upshift...but still double clutch on the downshift..the biggest non street friendly item is the vertigate shifter..
 If your not doing much in town driving I don't see an issue..get it out on the highway into high asap and drive it...as bad as it sounds it's probably no worse than shifting under power..the difference is your not paying any attention to those clunks under power...looking inside the trans it looks new other than some pitting on the low gear set which i have found to be normal...Adkins recommends straining your fluid through a cheese cloth or something like that a few times a year...

 I just got off the phone with the guy with the gears, he said don't do it if driven on the street. Regarding my granny shifting, another forum member did that run with a phone camera. It was the first full pass after stroking my motor and was a 10.56 pass, just think what it would have been if you were driving, maybe a 10 flat. Seriousely, the sound was deceptive, I do recall hitting the limiter going into high, but my right foot is planted on the first yellow and stays there.

 LOL, it would probably be cheaper to leave it as is and hire you to drive it. Besides, I'm starting to get gun shy with all this talk about crashing. You know with my catarics, slowed reflexes and bouts where I have no controll over bodily functions, I may just need a 6 banger at this stage of life?
 
 That's how I get my grandsons to chop wood, I just act real old and decrepit.

 Kevin, there's no real issue. I have a car I enjoy tinkering with. I drive it around some, I run it at the track some. I have two cousins that race, I do what's needed to stay ahead, then help them catch up, then make changes to mine and repeat the process. That's essentially what I do with my car, and it's fun.  
 
 You should be preaching to you're friend about safety not me, judging by the pictures you posted he may benefit from it. I've never put a single dent in a car in my 65 years, and yes I've been on oily tracks before.  
 
 I feel I've been getting everything out of a combination, I just keep changing combinations. Kind of like you and everyone else that enguages this hobby as a non professional.
 
 You keep touching on my age, I'll be in Detroit soon, I'll run you a foot race for bragging rights only, then buy you a beer to celebrate the outcome. You game? I feel when a person chooses an opponents age in a discussion as a disqualifying factor he has entered the refuge of the poorely prepared.

 It would have to be Saint Pauli Girl or Becks, and definately none of that brown whisky. You know, I havn't been good and drunk in over 25 years, so I'm really out of practice. We've got some stuff down here in the river bottoms that's good to smoke though, then you can do all kind of good stuff, like bird watching while eating sacks of powdered donuts.
