Think back at your old street racing days. There may have been some discussion on who got the half-car length lead because one had a big block and the other guy had a small block. Maybe other factors came into play. But I don't remember ever hearing about a head start being given because he had a slush box!
Detroit placed certain engines in certain cars and usually allowed both a stick or a/t trans. Let 'em race that way!
No agenda here, I'm a slug in SS/H compared to the ultra-competitive SS/HA crowd. I'm all for more heads up races even if I'm the looser. Better for the sport in my opinion.
