Pro Stock racers were using air shifted transmissions years ago.
It was knocked out by NHRA

Some manual trans comp cars use air shifted 4 and 5 speeds I believe

I personally don't have a problem shifting my car manually but as I said.....
racing 1/8th mile makes it more of a dis-advantage.

If you drive a slow car that does not wheel stand......it's a non issue...

If you choose to race a stick shift car and it's fast, you're already at a big disadvantage....your choice....

Stock eliminator IS BRACKET STOCK.....Sure there are heads up races but it's primarily a dial in with a breakout form of racing.....been that way for years and years....

If you want to win, you use whatever equipment that can help and is allowed.
If you can afford a killer fast driveline so you are the fastest car in the class, it's the same thing.....You bought what can win for you...
