yea i already sent them an email complaining that with no manual shift cars for the competition its biased towards drivers of auto's. i havent had an auto for over a decade and the driving style is completely different to make one go fast. last year coming off turns id try to feed the power in smoothly and the auto trans lag would kill my time then tried getting on the gas sooner and just got wheel spin off the turns. they should have either sticks or auto's as a choice, if im paying to goto the event then they should provide me with a vehicle im comfortable with. if you go though take the ten dollar ride in the zo6 its worth it.

WILL MY AWESOME MANUAL TRANSMISSION SKILLS GIVE ME A HUGE ADVANTAGE?
No. To level both the playing and the racing fields, all tracks will have cars equipped with GM automatic transmissions. If you absolutely have to drive a stick, one of the high performance Skills Clinics will offer you a choice - a Cobalt SS (auto) or a Cobalt SS Supercharged (manual).

Just went last weekend here in Orlando; it was awsome as usual! The only thing that sucked was the rain, and both of competition runs were in some pretty good rain storms. It'd be nice if you got more than just two runs!
