Neither will you. 6th gear is for cruising the highway. You will really only need 2nd and 3rd, and 4th on the long straight. RPMs are your friend at the track. They provide quick acceleration and deceleration (when used with brakes). Just get into a rythme and try to improve every lap. You want to use max torque to max HP in shifting.
