Ed...

I don't think there's any of them going to be showing up in your class.

Now that you have exhausted your supply of adolescent humor, tell me one more time what you think is a bad idea about utilizing transmission brakes in the automatics to counter the clutchless manual transmissions if they combine the classes.

If you can...

I wouldn't bet the farm on it... if I had a farm.

Bill one good reason "not" to allow them. Is breakage A manual clucth car is easier on the drive train than a brake.
There are guys that run low 10's with manual trans neons. That don't break the parts I broke with a 12 second automatic. (and trans brake)

Why don't you buy the pig farm next to the muslims in Katy Texas.You seem to have the pig headedness of those arabs.You'd get along just fine with them.
First trans brakes then ah maybe a delay box to go along with that.Yeah that sounds like
Stock elim.
There's no fool like an old fool.

Hey did you score with any of those cuties?

KILL THE MESSENGER!!! Whatever you do, do NOT address any of the issues at hand; insulting the writer of the post is of the UTMOST importance in this strategy. Dealing with the issues is not among the hierachy of subjects to be addressed.

"First trans brakes then ah maybe a delay box to go along with that.Yeah that sounds like

I said nothing of the kind, or anything like it. YOU own that one...
Attempting to put words in my mouth won't fool anyone on here... they have seen your act enough to recognize that this is just another distraction to direct attention away from the question at hand, which you can't answer.

"There's no fool like an old fool."
Gee, that's yet another non-sequitur to add bulk, but no substance to your totally impertinent note. Oh, I forgot, it's KILL THE MESSENGER, one more time... LOL!

I don't know how you can so artfully manage to avoid the subject, time after time, and live with yourself, but, there it is....

How do you do it???

What is the latest qualm with doing so? It will increase the likelihood of heads-up runs and the advantages/disadvantages of each seem to be more and more minimal as automatic transmission technology has caught up and potentially passed that of manual transmissions. The records are very similar with most automatics being faster. I know this has been brought up before but I still fail to see why it would be so problematic.

I agree.... Yes, the automatic transmission technology has come a long way since the 70's and back then I only ran a stick cause they were faster. With today's auto's, you also have the updated option's with an automatic which makes them just as fast or faster than a stick...Take a look at a PSC computer contolled TCM programer. I can dial in the shift points with one touch on my lap top key pad. Put it in "D" for dumb and let er buck without manually shifting a gear with no tach or shift light. I'd love to see a clucthless allowed in Stock. Just my .02.
