I think he meant that "3 kinds of racing" ironically. IOW the first two don't count.

On the horse power to torque question, keep in mind that torque is a measure of twisting force, while horsepower is a measure of twisting force over time.

That's why an engine making 200 ft lbs of torque at 5000 RPM won't be as fast as an engine making 200 ft lbs of torque at 9000 RPM. (read Honda)
