Road racing w/ automatic
Does anyone on here do it? and if so are there any tricks/tips?
I'm trying to start something for a friend of mine so he can get into road racing, but his situation calls for an automatic.

That and there's a lady with a 355 or 360 Ferrari Challenge car that's hand controls and an auto as I recall, out here in cali. I don't think legality is an issue, although you'd want to check your sanctioning body's rules for specifics. However, getting an auto to work well roadracing is a far different question, and one I really don't have any experience with, sorry. My concerns are abrupt downshifts and upshifts midcorner. Some of the newer dual clutch manumatics sound promising for this though.
