[Land-speed] Torque Drop>From>JG Magoo

[Adin, David]

IIRC (if i remember correctly) the 19,000rpm is a mandated (rules)
limit.  I do remember someone running OVER 20,000rpm in qualifying.
IIRC Cosworth (who, until recently had more F1 wins than ANYONE) hasn't
made a motor for the current 2.4 formula.

They DO spin those puppies but no one seems to want to tell me how.  (I
know its double cubic $, but what do they buy?)
