I went back to a stick-shift for my street car after 21 years of driving automatic. It really is much more fun.

CompetitionPlus.tv's Les Mayhew travels behind the scenes with some of Indy's stick-shifted class racers. In this exclusive video, these racers explain their reasoning for this stye of drag racing, plus we take you inside the cockpit to witness their procedures.  2m 14s

What an incredible moment today at the 60th Anniversary of the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals! Don Garlits reenacted the moment from 1967 when he won the race, ran in the 6's and hopped up on his Swamp Rat and shaved. #ChevroletPerfUSNats #NHRA
