This is from 2009. I had just won the 2009 NASA VW Championship and some of us VW guys came out to the NASA open race for a non-points event. This race coincided with the Truck Drags at Sacramento Raceway.
I saw a vehicle I wanted to race, so the challenge went out.
This video tells the tale. Enjoy.

That's too funny! You gotta realize that trucker had to skip major gears depending on his speed/RPM's at each shift, but still hit them quickly. Bobtailing with his foot in it, whole different pattern.
Very cool. Congrats on the win and thanks for sharing!
