Re: Fremont - Suggested Gear Ratios?
With a single '91, about 7.4 or 7.6/1. With a modified '101, about 7.2/1. With modified 200cc duals, about 6.4 or 6.6/1 You can pull more with dual 820's or dual '101's. These are STARTING points, and I'm sure lots of drivers will disagree! It totally depends on 1) tire size; 2) weight of kart and driver; 3) size and brand of the engine (PP's and Bends traditionally pull lower gears than Macs, but not a hard and fast rule); 4) state of modification; 5) carb size and whether you run alky or gasoline.

Re: Fremont - Suggested Gear Ratios?
I agree with Ted, those are good starting points .... and would also be good for Brodhead and Lansing.
