Dosent matter....If it wont run with an automatic then put a stick in it. Most dont use the clutch anyway. The engine is just an air pump. In time with cam changes and tunning the ones that wont work well with an automatic will work. If its a small engine then allow a wt. break for the lower classes. How else ar ya going to get these new combos hit by the AHFS before we all die of old age? One lb breaks would help and being allowed to run the natural class only would go a long way in helping to bring back some sposors. The status que isnt working. So what is the answer?
