I'm about to ask a question that is going to show my "noobness". But that's ok. I very recently bought a 73 H code 4 speed Cuda with a transplanted 1970 +.030 440 and 727 with a manual valve body and 3800 converter. It also has a Hurst Pistol Grip Quarter Stick shifter. My question is, if these shifters are as common in race cars as they seem to be, how do the drivers avoid throwing it directly into N from 2 without a mechanical stop? I know there is a stop from 1-2 but not from 2-3. Why are they so popular with that risk of over revving the engine and how do you avoid disaster?
thanks in advance!
