Looking through the indexes I saw the sticks .05, .10, or .15 lower than automatics. Exceptions are AA, L, M, and T stock each having the same indexes. The AA category hasn't been around long to be adjusted, but what about the rest? Why did NHRA set the indexes quicker, for the most part, for the stick cars. Record in A/S is amazingly 9.88 (Steve Ficacci) and with a 396 engine. I know the 68 is a lighter car but has any A/SA cars gone this quick? Is the stick the culpret here, lol? Jesse
