well tim, i think he means in top speed for a standing mile. yes overall top speed depends on hp vs. resistance and all. His 2 missing gears wouldnt matter if he had like a 5 mile run, but in 1 mile, while you're taking longer to accelerate, during that time, you're still covering ground at a decent speed, and you'll cover the remainder of a mile pretty quick. If im confusing something please corretc me, i just never did a land speed event so i cant compare to anything and since you do know more about these racing events, ill believe you. lol.
