Yep. Nobody wants to run behind a stick car. That and all the " man card" BS, "man lever" BS, etc. most of us ran stick cars back when they were harder to drive than now. Just annoying to listen to guys crow about nothing. Most of us know it's not any big deal at all. Just more work. Some of us got old enough diving under that cars is not as easy as it used to be. But, most do hate the starting line torn up. Faster stock cars don't care for bald spots either. I was sitting in the water box behind Jeff Covert's CJ at No Problem last year, saw the whole side of his car due to that lane going bald.
I never knowingly choose the same lane as a stick running ahead of me.
