>TRA used to also have an "Idle Threat" competition, where you drive an
autox style course, but you win by having the *highest* elapsed time. 
It pays to have a low, steady idle, at least as long as the course
doesn't have much of an up-hill section.

They held an "Idle Threat" at the VTR in 1991 in Cincinatti.  On a parking
lot.  On a hill.  Quite a challange but an understanding of potential
energy and scrub angles went a long way
