We had what was probably the first B&M "Hydrostick" to come into Texas. It was an early '50's Olds dual-range hydramatic with B&M magic applied to it.
Like most other cocky young squirts I was of the opinion that I was most likely the most gifted gearshifter in the world. The transmission was happy behind the 354 hemi. Because of my great talent I always shifted it by hand. I could "sense" when it was time to shift...... or so I thought.
It was a very sad day in my life when one day, just out of curiosity, we decided to make some runs keeping both hands on the wheel and letting the transmission think for itself.
We made three passes. EVERY ONE WAS QUICKER THAN WHEN I SHIFTED!
My partner calmly suggested I be governed accordingly.
