It may be easier on things to some but I have no issues not doing it .. just a risk I am not willing to take.
Hey David,
You've got me couriuos about this...Please explain. Thanks

Sometimes its easy to find reverse .. I seen this happen at norwalks ten grand nationals this year, it took out 2 cars both drivers were ok. I seen a TS car last year roll 10-12 times and go into flames he had minor burns. I seen a brand new dragster go to the scrap from this also. No sense is risking injury to yourself or others, accidents do happen.
I see your point and I understand it...But my shifter has a reverse lockout and also I would have to push my trans brake button also to activate reverse. Was all of the accident you describe due to hitting reverse instead of nuetral? And Thanks for your response. Please don't think that I'm nit-picking...I'm just always trying to learn.
