of course, my calculations make the following simplifying assumptions:

1. That the increase circumference due to increase in tire
pressure during a race is exactly offset by the decrease in
circumference due to tire wear

2. That we discount the both the effect of decreased circumference
at higher altitudes due to the reduced effect of the pressure
differential of inside/outside tires, and the effect of increased
circumference due to the change in gravitational force on the
tire casing based on the distance to the center of mass of the earth...

3. That we ignore any relatavistic foreshortening of the tire
as the speed of the RX7 approaches the speed of light....

oh wait...I think I hear my adopted cousin...
