And that's a reason this Miata driver went down to 1st
in a couple of places. I just couldn't get out of
those spots very quickly coming out at 3K in second.
Since we had the Stockton discussion earlier on this
list, I now know that a lot of the Vette guys were
doing the whole course in 1st. Guess they're geared a
lot higher than my car, on top of having about 3x the
horsepower and 3.5x the torque...
