6MT vs 7AT and the Track/Auto X

I can see the AT edging out the MT in a 1/4 mile race, but not around an actual course/track. There's just not enough control with the AT for it to beat even a semi-competent MT driver. Not a knock on the AT, but that's just how it is.

I guess it'd depend on the track.

Even then the margins would be pretty small, I'd imagine.
