Was the track at Fremont too short for you triple engine guys to really get going?
When you change sprockets for a top end course like New Castle, what would be the max speed on that long straightaway?
Lastly, is there a certain speed above which a kart has to have special tires?
Thanks, bill

My son Joel ran triple 820's at TBO last year (2009) with 10/64 spkts and it was about right for that track. Never ran it anywhere else except for the parking lot at the Lake Co. Captains stadium in Eastlake earlier in the year, around July 4. He went back to twin 820's with cross-over pipes this year, said the triples w/ box mufflers weren't any more power than the twins w/ pipes. (no room for 3 pipes back there!)
