The worst...One time I was going through the gears out in the country, and at the top of third (80-90 mph)I accidently shifted into second instead of fourth. As I was letting out on the clutch, the RPMs shot up and luckily I was able to take the car out of gear before anything bad happened. I have a hurst shifter w/ T-handle and can never hit fourth. When I went to the track, out of three passes, I was only able to shift my car into fourth (slowly) once (ET in sig). The other two passes, I ended up coasting through the traps. Both those times were 14.5s, one at 88mph and the other 82mph. I don't even want to talk about the track conditions that day (Brand new starting line = no traction).

Funniest...Probably when I put my car sideways through and intersection while turning a corner and flooring it. My friends thought it was pretty funny.
