With an automatic plus a torque converter and whatever else, all you do is see the green light and hit the gas. Big deal. Where's the skill? Admittedly there is skill in the buildup and tuning, but not the driving part.
Having said that I will probably run high 13's or something at the convention LOL. (In my defense I have only dragged onoce in my entire life but I am going to give it a shot =)
