There is not much time for the1-2 shift at the 60' mark (@ 2.8 seconds) a little more for 2-3 shift at the 330' mark (@ 8.1 seconds) but tons for the 3-4at the 1230' (@ 19.8 seconds).

One of the spectators drove in with a new Smart car and was bragging about his better than EPA FE of 45 mpg.....I showed him my log book that had only 2 long trips of under 50 mpg and he kind of turned real quiet and pale while he just spent nearly $20K on something that got worse FE than a 12 year old, $3000 car that has room for 2 kids too.
