Stick Racers !!!

"...Could have been Powder Puff drags..."


Yeah, that's true.

My girlfriend(now wife) use to drive a 4-speed Firebird as her daily driver. Actually had several, including a '68, a '73 455 T/A, a '76 T/A, and a Smokey & the Bandit black T-top '77 T/A.

After those, her daily drivers were 3 different new 5-speed stick pickups. It was her choice. She loved a stick, on the street. She also drove our race car hauler trucks, empty & loaded, including our 2-car rig.

BUT, I put an auto trans in all her strip cars. IMO, auto is the ONLY way to go, in breakout style racing, if you wanna be consistent. And I've done it both ways.

But, I realize there are those who love a stick enuff so that they'll give up consistency, for the fun of shifting. I can understand that. But I enjoyed winning MORE than shifting a stick.
