Oh, Schweedo was talking about road riding, and being able to reach redline in 6th gear. Clearly track riding has much different gearing requirements. My limited track experience made it obvious to me that one tooth difference one way or the other on the front sprocket can make a huge difference in where shift points occur relative to turns, etc..
