Good ones! My first automatic, and it is kinda boring. Just getting too old for the maint.

Larry Hill · 08-14-2011, 06:31 PM

You make a run, get back to your pit, put the car on four jack stands, and lay under it!

james schaechter · 08-14-2011, 06:41 PM

Or in your case Larry, you just lift the car up with one arm and wiggle the trans out with the other. LOL.

Now, most of my shirts have gravel dust ground into the shoulders from lying on them, but I have seen plenty of the auto guys with the car up in the air. Of course those racers have pink stains on the Front of their shirts!

A few more;

1) When you go to buy a new vehicle your first question to the salesperson is; "does it come with a stick".
His/her reply; "whats that"?

2) You put your stick shift race car up for sale. Potential new owner says he is going to put an automatic in it. Your reply, "Sorry its no longer for sale".

3) You don't know how automatics work and don't care to learn.

4) Fellow racer comes over to offer you a complete automatic trans to convert your car over. You politely decline.

My wife and I have discussed make T shirts and selling them we are going to get website soon and possibly do that.
My name for the T shirt line would be stickman,but use stick person drawing.
Dave, your daughter driving stick reminded me of story my younger brother was'nt married,I saw coverage where Jamie Duke(Kilgore) won in A or B stocker I told him I found him a woman,He said whats she look like?I said I don't know,does'nt matter she drives a stick.

Another one,
If you've had the racer you just beat come over and congratulate you then tell you how good you could do if you had automatic.
That's true story has happened to me several times.

Another one you guy's that go back to Hays Mark12 days will get this.

You launch the first time you think the car in burnout box behind you has just rearended you.
Those old 3000-3200 press plates and button clutches felt like somebody hit the back of your seat with a ball bat.
