Well I have a 39 on it to begin with I will try to race it soon and get a
feel for which direction I need to go. I don't doubt you guys for a second
tho. I got on it in first gear last night and roasted the rear tire. It
was already doing 20mph at the time so I will probably go down if need be.
Whatever gets me down the track quicker that is the way I am going to go.
I could like a nice casual launch and then blow down the track with less
shifting. Yea,.......that would be cool.
Thanks for the discussion fellas !!
