THR3E QUESTIONS

1) What speed is usually attributed to an interstate highway while traveling through a large city?
2) How would you express that speed while driving in a certain car with a manual transmission but not equipped with a speedometer?
3) In what form of racing would you find such a car and in what part of the race would you use the speed found in the answer to the first question and expressed in the method proscribed in the answer to the second question?

OK, um, I'm not sure I follow this post, but my guesses would be 1) 55 mph, 2) for our car, about 2250 RPM on level ground in 5th gear, and 3) an offroad race in a downhill section?

Otherwise, I'm completely flummoxed.

aaron; 1)correct 2)I should have been more clear, the correct answer is 3rd gear 2900 RPM's in the nextel cup car. 2)this question is a bit cnfusing, I managed to flumix myself while writing it. The answer is: nascar and the pit road.
