I couldn't imagine driving my 34 roadster that hard and on those road conditions.

Good drivers to double clutch quickly on the downshifts!

fun video, thanks. No double clutching, just match rpm's of road speed and crank speed and put it in gear like the big trucks do, and me with one functioning leg

Quite enjoyable, thanks for the heads-up Steve.

Don't we all want to drive like that in a car we don't own? Racers!! Bah!

Third gear was certainly dead weight on that little jaunt. Going second to first many times under high load... Yup.

(add) At about 4:15 all three are hard on it in first upwards of thirty mph by the looks of it and up a very mild grade. Nice.

It's not real clear, but, I think Schultz has picked up a hitch hiker at around the 4.34 minute mark.
