Hrm, Tim, I have a trophy or two from Richmond Dragway, for example last
Sat. I ran 14.78, 14.75, and 14.73, back to back to back!! on April 16th I
ran 14.602, 14.591, and 14.576 within .05 (thousandths). prior to that
I had a string of 10 runs within a tenth of each other!!pretty consistent
uh???
5 spds can be consistent if you know how to drive them, it puts the driving
back into racing!! Out of 65 passes I have missed a gear only twice, once
at the DML VA meet, and once last weekend.
The 5spd also gives me the option to launch at any rpm, shift at any rpm,
and allows more power to the ground, which generates quicker ET's!! :)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<,Hrm... I dont see many 5 speeds (or manuals for that
fact) running in the
bracket races, and winning.. in the two times I've bracket raced... I've got
2nd both times.. only 1 of 3 classes that I know of had a winner that was a
manual =-) Auto's are a lil more consistant... my times varied only by
about 1-2 tenths of the 10-11 runs i made last friday...
btw, there are alot of peeps on this list with autos, and i'm sure there are
alot of guys =-) Watch Out fer the vast amout of Automatic Daks that pull
up in yer driveway, heheh =)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
