Thanks Rob, good point. I believe I know which one your talking about.
Hey, good to hear from you. Going to be at Indy this year?

If your running stock with a small tire I would go automatic. All that horsepower on a small tire is gonna be hard to get hooked up. Even if you are slipping the clutch. If your running super stock big tire. Thats the way to go. Just my 2 cents

No doubt the automatic may be the smarter avenue for hooking up and consistency, but I never claimed to be smart....No comments please*
Actually I like the challenge of the clutch. Have never had a competition vehicle with an auto and I guess I'm too old to change now.

I would like to hear how this works out for you. I am another of those die hard or just hard headed stick guys.
