So Im Watching Fast And The Furious

I was recently watching fast and the furious and vin disel makes fun of the cop guy after the race... when he says you were grandma shifting instead of double clutching... can anyone help me out what is grandma shifting and double clutching. I thought double clutching was when slowing down to speed back up out of turns. But theyre in a quater mile race there is no slowing down what is he talking about and how do you do it..?

You are right....Double clutch = matching RPM's down shifting.

At least thats the popular defination.
