I hope this is correct, because that is exactly what I have been doing. I have found a pair of long uphill highway entrance ramps. By the time I am at the merge point I am already backing off and shifting into 5th-6th and letting her coast down to the legal limit, then to an exit ramp to take me off of the highway.
Then I go to another uphill entrance ramp that takes me in the opposite direction and repeat the process, bringing me back to the original exit/ entrance ramp. I repeat the loop process about 3-4 times and then head home and let her cool off. It is a great thrill ride, the gift that keeps on giving!
