SS/GT classes transmission?

Maybe this will help. Wesley explained to me that the NHRA rule book is written in a positive manner. In other words, you can’t do it unless it says you can do it. You can’t run an automatic in a stick only original combination that is in the guide because the rule book doesn’t say you can do it.

You are looking for a nuanced reason to be able to run one because you cannot find a direct reference as to it being illegal. There are some references as to prohibited items such as aluminum driveshafts unless originally equipped.

I think it would help you understand the rule book better if you read it in the manner it was written.

Thank you. This is the best take on reading the rulebook I have come across. I'm too analytical for my own good sometimes. Reading between the lines just won't work here.
Thanks again.

Thank you and you are welcome. I didn’t realize that was the way we were to read the rulebook until I started hammering Wesley with questions. That was when he had me back up and read it again with the mindset it was written in a positive manner.

I can see your original point and I had similar questions, but after he schooled me as he often does it became clearer. He got tired of me asking if the medical grade nitrous would break down Royal Purple 10 wt before the end of Indy. With class and all we make a lot of passes.
