True..but I would think that the shift might drop you below optimum power. But
it may not and a quarter mile is too short to need too many gears. I guess,
never raced.
Is there anyone that's put together a transmission that constatly changed so
the engine could be kept the most optimal RPM? Like belts with conical pullies
where the belt constantly slides along the pully.
