That's funny ... exactly what does Automatic mean ... ?

Always found it odd that drag racers would take an automatic transmission, modify it so that it no longer operates automatically, as designed, and then spend even more money to make it shift via outside sources (air or electric shifter).

I think it's great that the sanctions are hearing from the S/SS community. I would like someone to explain why it's beneficial to combine stick and autos, and or cut classes in general?

I believe that is an easy question to answer. Fewer classes = more heads up rounds which means more round wins for those with fast cars.

So there would be a direct correlation of people with faster cars in favor of fewer classes and those with slower cars opposed to fewer classes... Now, how would the classes be made fewer other than the combination of auto and stick?
