Here we go again...
Just out of curiosity what car have you driven and raced that gave better times in any form of racing where you didn't shift at redline?
I have Dragged Race blown Domestic's on Alcohol, Imports on Race Gas and Pump gas, Drag raced Motorcycles as well and road course and full blown track street bikes. I have done auto-x (where there is no shifting really depending on the course) and 3 day track events, done driver for a day with a whole host of Porsche cars, Formula 2000 test days in the open wheel cars, mud buggies, and tried my hand at dirt track even. Hell I even did a weekend in full Donzi race boats with twin 1000hp motors. None of these forms of racing in all the different cars etc. I have driven was what your saying ever true. If I find any examples of this I will definitely let you know. In September this year I'm going to Mosport with Pfaff Porsche/Audi/VW to drive about 30 different models from Diesel Turbo V10's to Twin Turbo Porsches, if I find anything I'll be the first to let everybody know. Hell even one of my collegues from another magazines I used to work with did a NASCAR test track day in a restrictor plate car and even with those they were told to redline the cars right out, in that big ass V8 with a restrictor plate on it.
If you have an example for me please, I'm all ears...
