I'm all for combining sticks and autos if we make it a level playing field with the same hp ratings for them both....is that what you want.

Brad and I joke about this all the time. I'm not out to offend anyone. In fact every race I go to I get the "why in the hell do you race a stick". I do it because my dad raced for 30 years with a stick. I was raised on it and choose to keep it going. I'm not trying to offend anyone. If you can't have fun with people at the races where can you?
