Look at the SS/L and LA records. No difference there. I've also watched a couple SS/K cars run low 10.1's in less then desireable air. Robin Brown went in the 9's in good air. Advantage stick cars. Also remember Mike Cates' Comet SS/M car going in the 10's many years ago. Not many autos run in the 10's now unless the air is good. Again a lot of the preceived advantage of the automatic cars is the sheer volume of cars. Especially in SS. There aren't many stick SS cars and several run them just to run them.
