I just can't be proud of something when it takes no skill to do. A 10.99 time slip in an auto would mean nothing to me. Just personal opinion. I don't care if a guy in an auto beats me. He didn't beat me, his car/tuner beat me.
11.54 on a TVS car isn't smoking. And the guy with the auto who beats you. Beat you with his car and him driving it.
