But how is a track car

a test of how a ceramic bearing will perform in the cars we have and the many of us drive?

I recall your comments that cars driven gently (and specifically TIP cars because that transmission's shift patterns promotes low-rev higher-MPG driving) suffer more failures than cars driven at high RPM.

It would seem that a track car would be testing in a very different driving style than the street car norm..or is your car babied around the track at less than 3k RPM? I'd have thought that Atlanta traffic at rush hour would be a better test environment than Road Atlanta.
