Formula Ford gearing for the June 14th race?

[gkull]

I have a friend showing up and he would like to know what gearing would be best. Carl McClellan are you out there?

I received this e-mail answer.

I've been running my Sears Point gears:
18:32
21:30
23:29
24:24
But, I never had fresh tires on there. The gears should be a good starting
point.
I'm pretty sure they are using the bottom track.
The Weber will have to be leaned a bit at the track.

Sorry for the late reply. Hopefully it may be useful in the future.
In my Crossle 32f using a 9/31 ring and pinion I used the following gear ratios.
!st 17.33/34
2nd 20.31
3rd. 22.28/29
4th 24.27
These were also my Thunderhill gears.
I had max. of 6600 rpm at the end of the main straight.
My lap times were in the 1.25.S on the regular course with the American Racer 133 Tire.
I still have my AIM Data if anyone would like a copy.
