Glenn, Thanks for posting that video from Bowling Green in 2010.  I crew for Big Daddy and was driving the push truck that night.  The Bushmaster and I are with Big at the end when the Bangshift guys were interviewing him.  We were discussing a problem on the big end of the track with getting the push truck in gear when it was time to push Big down track for the start.  I had to slide under the truck in the dark and reach between the exhaust pipe and the frame to manually pull the shifting linkage to get the truck into gear while Bushmaster held the brakes.  Fortunately it worked, but Big had questions as to why it took so long.  Fun stuff!  Terry
