Just good drafting going down the back stretch coming out of turn 2.  
I've only gotten it up to 207 maybe 5 times, but I regularily get up to
205 down the straight.

I just finished my first full length race at Taladega.  I noticed that in
the last 1/2 to 1/3 of the race that the oil pressure wasn't as high as
it was in the beginning of the race.  Am I seeing things?  Or does this
really happen?  Normally the oil pressure guage stands straight up, but
it had dropped off to the left.  Even when passing lapped cars at
207mph.  Anyone?

That's 207mph w/ restrictor plates.  Lots of drafting though.  Can't get
about 202mph w/o drafting.  Atleast I can't.

the fastest I have ever been is 221 into turn 3 I believe.  With
qualifying times in the 207 range at Taladega.

I've noticed the oil pressure will slowly drop off if the engine is
being abused.  I learned the hard way to change my gear ratios and
avoid constant red-lining the engine during a race...

Without the restrictor plate, of course :)
