hmm.. most "stadium lots" (meadowlands, fed-ex field, ripken stadium) I have driven are maybe top of 2nd gear, or bottom of third gear, depending on gearing ratios). Since I've had the boxster, which is geared for 68-70mph in second, I've never needed third.

However, I have run on some "airfield" lots (Devens in Ma) and seen 3rd gear.. 70-80mph.

And i would agree that AX and DE are more compliments than alike. The advantage of AX is the ability to probe a vehicles limits in a lower speed environment. If you can learn to feel a car sliding at 30mph, then feeling it slide at 60mph at a track should be less un-nerving.
