In drag racing, they're using manual valve-body autos. True they have no clutch, but they also have only 2-3 speeds. Most high power drag cars use power-glide or TH350 transmissions. Less shifts = less lost time.

Not worth it to me. Even if Auto is faster in the straight line, it's not nearly as fun.
