Sticks & Autos Together (Class) - Page 7

NHRA has made a change to class so that sticks and autos with only one car in the class will run together. I think this is a great idea and they should have combined the two full time years ago. 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.
