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.

I knew a guy that exploded his trans and split the case and flipped the majority of his trans upside down from going to neutral at the stripe
Im told when you go to neutral at high speed, you start driveing the planetary or something diifferantly at a hi rate of speed and then it explodes.Or something to that affect.

I have seen a lot of stupid accidents caused by people going for neutral. I have seen the reverse lock out fail and send the car into reverse. I have seen guys put it in neutral and bump a button or hit a toggle switch wired for reverse back up when reaching for another switch. I have seen guys explode turbo 400's going to neutral. It's not worth it, not a safe practice and can put you and the other driver at risk.

The ones I have seen do this have had reverse lockouts and they slide right on by them, some shifters are very easy to do this some other not so easy. Stupid things can happens thats why they are accidents, just my thoughts are never take the chance.

I have been knocking in neutral from 7.50's down to 4.90's (personally)...Got Friends knocking in neutral down to 4.20's ( door cars)..never a problem. i been going to the track for nearly 30 years and Never saw an accident caused by someone going into Neutral or any trannys explode for knocking in neutral.. :shock: ....but i have seen some screw ups by people getting on the transbrake Button crossing the stripe because it was located where it shouldn't have been....but on the Flip side i can see why someone would leave it in High Gear . No issues with me either way...whatever works for you
now if your running a mechanical fuel pump on blown applications..we are talking another story..
