Final drive, probably somewhere in the 14-15-1 ratio, maybe a bit lower, depending on tire size, you're only on the gas for at the most, a couple of seconds, and you need the low ratio, to save brakes. Bob!

We ended up at 17.5 to 1 with the 1000cc car. Had 0% wheelspin and could pick both front wheel at any time. 13900 rpm's
