I thought the pro stockers used air shifted manuals with a clutch,
prostock trucks have to actually move a conventional type shift lever
and use a clutch, and the fuel cars never shift - one gear - just use
a series of clutches that engage more and more as rpm/speed increase.
Don't know about the alkies.

Seems to me I recall a whole bunch of AA fuelers, Funny Cars, and Pro
Stockers that use manually shifted "slush boxes".

But I still contend that it is much easier to eat and drive at the
same
time while using a slushbox .
True , real performance cars never have an auto (except for one
particular
model that I saw from Ferrari) , but I think they end up being more
consistent , if not as fast , simply because of human error and
variance .
