    	Jim, talk to any autocrosser!!  If you do this regularly you'll 
    want to step up your oil change schedule, but you shouldn't see ill 
    effects.  I haven't seen any yet from running at 60mph in 2nd gear for 
    5 minutes every Sunday for the last three summers.  (OK, 6K off of 
    every red light on the road, too.)
