Yes, Wendover is the place that comes to mind....I've done more ProSolo's
there than anywhere else.  At the Utah Divisional there were several 5 
to 6 gate
75' spaced slaloms and I would hit my 2nd gear rev limiter coming out of it
before having to break for the next turn.  Great courses, 75s long and I 
never
once had to go to 3rd gear (2nd gear rev limitor at around 68mph in my Z06).

And Chuck, believe me, at that speed it doesn't feel like a wiggle! 8-)
