Thanks Brian, though a bit disconcerting at first I knew this was a high revving engine but I would really like to get my questions answered. If I'm already turning 5000 rpm's, hit the brake as was suggested by Joe-FL and it shifts down yet again I'm guessing one of two things are going to happen, the rear wheels are going to start skipping or the engine is going to over rev and unless there is a failsafe of some sort I guarantee you any engine can be over revved.
