Second pass yesterday, spun the tires a bit, ran a 14360 ft, then I missed third gear and aborted the pass. I figured out that the new shifter I put in that I never should have put in sits a few inches further forward than my old shifter and when I'm strapped in the bucket seat and my arm is straight I don't have enough reach to get it all the way into third gear. So I'm trying to find somebody with an acetylene torch here in the pits so I could heat it and bend it. Otherwise I'm going to put a couple half rolls of paper towels behind my right shoulder before I strap in and see if that works.
