Hmm. This seems so simple. Something must have addled my math wits. Seems
like 2.54 miles/1.46 minutes = X miles/60 minutes or 2.540/1.46=X/60 or
(2.540*60)/1.46 = 104.38
Must be losing my marbles. Of course that site lists PIR as being 3.4 miles
long. That would be cool. My typical 1:31 there would be 134.5 by their
calculation. PIR is more like 1.9 miles.
I wonder why a website in new Zealand lists PIR, Pacific Raceway. Bremerton
and Spokane.

Bill,
You are correct in the distance of RA, but you have an error in your math
somewhere. Try this link:

Looks like a much more reasonable 84.666 average.
