I put in a 9.1. Hopefully that is close. I've never ran there.

I wouldn't run a 9.1 Unless you are going to play huggy pole. I'd go with somewhere between an 8.6 To an 8.9.

I know of about 12 guys that ran 9.10 last week and that was the right gear

When I ran there prior to the track changes, I ran a 9.1. That's in an acro rear end. I think some even ran a 9.4.

Perhaps the 8.6 to 8.9 was meant for a winters rear end, but that's really tall for an acro.

I have a winters. And I'm going with an 9.1. Hot laps will tell us what we need. Surely I'm not to far off. And I have a tac. So not to worried. Thanks for the input. Are you racing?

Not at this point. The car is for sale and we have a potential buyer. If that falls through, We'll list it publically.

In the past I've ran everything from an 8.6 to a 10.12 with a Winters, that track will really fool ya, when it was a higher bank, you needed a 10.12 just to get up off/out of the turns, and 3-4 was a buggar, you really had to diamond it a lot, to get up on the front straight, then what RR and stagger you runnin, that's a big figure also, big difference between a 71-74, or a 68-69 RR. A 9.1 will keep the Rpm in a safe zone. Ya gotta start somewhere, but don't expect it to be the same gear next time. Bob

Bob, was that 10.12 With the 600 engine, turning 12,000 Plus? I NEVER ran anything lower than an 8.9 And always turned 10,700 to 10,900.

Why does them guys with a Winters rear end's have to run a lower gear than them with an Acro rear end? Are the Winters just that much too heavy or something:D.

Honest Dad himself:6::6:

Well I ran an 8.6 to an 8.9 with a Winters though.

No DAD, it may look like the Winters is heavier, but in reality there is little difference, in fact you might be surprised, now I know this will trigger another argument, but it is what it is, lots of magnesium and hollow pcs in the Winters. Duz that help? Bob

No, not at all, it depended on the track condition, and if I was running a 71" RR, or a 67-68", usually turned the Honda about 10600, with the 600 Yamaha, a 67"RR and a 10.4/10.75, we usually turn 13500. I hope to get to the "new" track before long, I just got my diesel back yesterday, had some paint work done on it, and as soon as Kyle gets his 800+ acres planted, we'll be back. With the 600, and a 68"RR we ran a 9.6 at the Burg, Madison we usually run a 12.26, with a 68"RR, same rpm, 13500/13800. Bob
