2020 Small Block Penalty Box Race Sign Up

On the four speed subject is there any consideration taken for the three times that the stick shift has to be shifted? The shifts are not as fast as an automatic unless you have a slick shift transmission which most don't especially if your driving it to the track.. generally a tenth is lost in between each shift.. also it's not as easy to ride the clutch in a perfect slip like setting up a torque converter for the perfect launch RPM...
You joining the race ? Cool !!!!! We sign up on this thread.... :) 4 speeds are faster in low horsepower machines. IF they aren't, it's the driver.
