When we hear about people ignoring a crime affecting their neighbors, we like to think we would have stood up for what is right.  Donnie Bachman was a man who saw crimes being committed in his neighborhood and tried to prevent them.

 

However, his good deeds ended up costing Donnie his life.  His friends and family have rallied to keep his memory alive and to bring attention to victims of violent crimes by engaging in his favorite hobby -restoring and racing classic cars.

 

His friend, Billy Feist, will be racing Donnie's 1986 Corvette in the Super Touring Over class.  Billy called us about purchasing a transmission but when we learned this was for Donnie's car, we knew SST needed to get involved. 

 

Because the car will be racing in the Super Touring Over class in road races, hill climbs and shifting at very high RPMs, we wanted to set Billy up with the Tremec Magnum 6-Speed with our newly designed shifter tower mechanism.  This will provide a better fit in the transmission tunnel and the shortest/fastest throw available.
