The illusion is that manual transmissions are not as consistent as automatics, but as I've said before then why do the Pro Stockers seem to be able to repeat times to within a few hundreths round after round?????
Racing with the money out of your back pocket makes you no more or less of a drag racer then a heavily sponsored pro car. All it means is that you compete at a different level....Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
