Can't figure if your kidding or not, but I'm sure others think this way -so:

I would agree the M6 requires some more skill.

Contrary:
I spent many long months of debate prior to deciding on my Auto.

My sound judgement had / has paid off from my main decision factor-driving while injured.

I had incurred a major back injury lasting a couple months a few years prior buying my Cam5. Since I wanted to keep the car forever, I felt it was most important to be able to actally drive it whenever I wanted and not have to garage it due to a future back or knee injury. I actually inquired to many people with Manuals who said they often didn't drive theirs during the injuries-some even selling the cars because of long term issues.

Well,
sure enough, it happened. On the 9th of this month, I was picking up the two 3ft WD bars off the floor- and BAM- out goes a disc in my lower back. Needless to say - my life stopped again for the most part- drugs are worthless.
I had gotten the bars out to go get the trailer for the Joliet NMCA race-we were scheduled that week Wednesday. Thanks to my wife and daugther doing Everything (some new learning experiences for them)- I was determined to still go and deal with the pain.

So, all I did was drive the car on/off the trailer, drive the truck/trailer there(not fun), and yes- 'just put my foot on the gas' going down the track. This would never had been possible with a Manual ( I just start tying my own shoes again this weekend).
Most of us that take the runs very serious know that there is more to it than just that- to the point where the other factors can be just as important than how well you shift.

Thanks to the Auto, I was able to still enjoy this new passion of racing.

I have never regretted my decision, and surely won't when I'm 80 and still cruising.

Don't worry brother....every day of the week and twice on Sunday you'll kick my ass on the brackets....!! Im just one of those that always chooses the harder path (character building or something)... and Im sarcastic to a fault...

While I still have only one reconstructed knee, I'll keep with the stick... while I can....not much longer before my knees won't bend much at all and then I"ll be an auto guy....and God bless all our wounded warriors in autos that want a taste of American Muscle Cars!!

the M6 street tire class is really just an opportunity for us to beat up on eachother while doing our best not to make complete fools of ourselves while trying to multitask our way down the track.

It's for bragging rights and the entertainment of the auto guys... Nothing official about it.

ummmm.....multi-tasking??? uh oh....my friends say I'm not very good at that...

I bet there's a run on the popcorn for this 'spectator' sport...

You'll know if you should be there if your timeslip qualifies for the top 16. It will be test and tune runs most of Friday so you'll get all the practice you want to try and make the finals.

I put you down for Bracket Racing. You will definitely have fun with this one and that's what it's all about.

Can you put us down for the V6 Unlimited - Heads up?

Thanks,

Jesse!

+1 for the bracket on just v6s. i think at this point it just needs to be added or forgotten about with as little time that we have left.

Not sure how drag racing will work for me bc if i read it correctly there are runs fri and sat. i plan on bringing one car fri and another car sat. so not sure what to do, if the class starts on fri and i dont bring that car til sat? with drag it sounds like eliminations run starting fri and end sat? i wont have the same car?


2010 5th gen M6 v6 (completely stock) not sure what class for this

2008 pontiac g8 gt, i would say bracket for this one but not bringing til sat. Its not a M6 but A6 so cant do the last class.

sorry for the headaches but p.m. me for clarification is better then posting, thanks
