No, since the car only has a three speed transmission, I was trying to get the top speed realistic, so I tweaked things to get it to run fast enough. If you know a better way please feel free to make any changes. The car in reality should be able to run in the 200 kph range (top speed on a straightaway.)
Edit: I averaged all the track speeds for the 1957 season and it is 60 mph (96.5 kph) of course the tracks vary considerably from about 39 mph (62.7 kph) to 101 mph (162.5 kph). Perhaps it would be better to kick it down to an average?
