First bounce off red line

After 28k+ miles I figured it was time to see if the bounce off red line worked.
2nd gear,7000+ rpms,and the little guy held me there.I'm happy to know that,now I will continue to run up to 6000+ rpm and not worry to much

Well I figured it would happen at about 6800,where the red line is. But I was on the high side of 7000 when it kicked in.3rd sure does want to pull hard then
