I look forward to racing with you guys this coming Sunday, I was out watching you guys the last race and that really pushed me to buy a kart....so this is all your guys falt ;D Anyways I picked up a CRG lepard 125 (Tag) Kart and can't wait to get out there Sunday.
My question is about grearing, I'm not sure if people share this kind of information but i thought i would at least try. I have only a 11 tooth driver and was wondering a ball park gear to run out back. The track looks pretty fast for only being .55 of a mile but there are two hairpins that look like you will need a lot of bottom end speed. Thanks in advance. See you all Sunday!!

I run a Rotax so I'm not sure what the Leopard guys will be running. 11t is the correct drive gear ... just unsure about the rear sprocket. If none of the Leopard guys are able to reply before Sunday I would recommend just leaving rear sprocket off the kart because you can find out first thing Sunday morning at the track. All the guys are very helpful and will get you in the ballpark with your gearing. It will probably be in the neighborhood of 11/79 to 11/83. You should probably make sure to have sprockets from 78 through 84 for racing at Qualcomm.
See you Sunday.

My name is Doug Edwards I drive Kart #9, look me up in the pits, I'm happy to help with anything I can.

Hey Guys! Thanks for the help, yeah i was planning on running about an 82 to start out with and seeing where that put me. I'll be in a all black CRG with number 210 and my little brother is running a top kart with an hpv2 motor. You won't be able to miss us, we show up in a UHAL truck that i picked up for less then i was going to spend on a trailer. Thanks guys and we usually have a good supply of tools air exct. if you find anyone needs something. Thanks again!
