Looks like fun, but as you probably ascertained, the gearing seems way to low for that task. It looks like you barely made it into 4th by the end of the run and had a very slow start. I would think you should want to gear it so you are winding out in 6th(or 5th if a 5 speed) and have much more torque off the line and probably across the board. Still nice work, probably just pointing out the obvious

The wind noise was a little puzzling too.
