That author doesn't know that 727 and 904 don't have three drums in them like the GM and Ford 3 speed automatic have
Drag race 727 will explode if you don't drive them correctly like already pointed out, if you lift on the throttle in low gear DO NOT go back the full throttle in low gear
Shift it into 2nd or 3rd gear and drive it back to the pits so you can make another run later that day
