Same thing through all of the wt. breaks. A 23 lb break auto car would recieve 115 lb break over a same class car with a stick. Same deal for S/S cars. Maybe 5 HP would not be enough but it was a place to start until it could be fine tuned. Both stick and auto would have the SAME HP factors with this plan. Its a moot point as I dont think a sportsman association is in the cards. Even the mighty NHRA cannot draw a good car count except for INDY and some Div. 1 races.
...and there you have it. Looks like a plan.
