Definitely Fun. The speed range in my CM FF was very close to the speeds
at the 98 Nationals, and many other Nationals. i.e. not "fast" or "slow" by
National's standards. The only difference was that Nationals courses are 10
to 15 seconds longer due to more available space. The second gear I'm
running worked for the whole course. Top speed at one point (by telltale
and gear chart) was 66mph (just touched the rev limiter).
