Hurst Quarter Stick with bench seat

Ok the reason I did it is because I occasionally race my car. I was column shifting. I would sometimes between watching the tach the track and trying to eyeball the next shift location shift from 1st to 3rd or 2nd to neutral with fear of going into reverse. No reverse lock out.

If I put the shifter directly on the floor I would be hunched over while the force was trying to pin me in the seat while watching the tach and the track.
So I mounted the shifter on a pedestal. Now it is functional, comfortable, and I no longer fear shifting into reverse.
