Where is the manual class at the dragstrip??

For al of us with manuals who like to go fast, but know we will always just be a bit slower than a built auto. I think they should start up a bracket or class for the manuel trucks at diesel events. I know u can beat autos up to a certain point but after 600 or more hp your never gonna catch an auto.. just a thought. Anather question is, how fast are u guys that have dragged with manuals?? Know of a d max that ran low 13s in quarter.. Just curious..
