    Does anyone use a 3 speed top loader for drag racing? Not talking about the 3 speed w/overdrive.

    Was thinking about setting one up with faceplated 2nd and 3rd gears and leaving first stock.
    any thoughts?

    Would use a V-gate shifter, normal 1st gear position would be used for reverse.
    less rotating mass, one less shift.
