I was out the other day with Jordan and while enthusiastically pulling away from him in 2nd, my rev counter needle went all the way to the bottom without the car seemingly being anywhere near the actual limiter. My nephew who was watching it at the time also confirmed this.

Where the hell have Jamsport put my rev limit

I meant all the way round to 8 or whatever it is rather than it dropping... or is that what you meant

No I have hit the limiter once since I've been to Jamsport... I just didn't realise it was revving off the counter because at the time I was preoccupied with some enthusiastic driving

The limiter must just be set at stupidly high revs!
