    McMinnville vintage kart meet

    gear ratio and speed

    If you can change the 41 tooth to a smaller one you will gain speed and loose acceleration. the smaller you go the more speed you will gain at the expense of fast acceleration. You can also get the same effect by increasing the size of the 15 tooth sprockets or deceasing the size of the 72 tooth...

    She would probably have a blast in it. When he left the pit area and turned to the access road he punched the throttle and broke the tires loose and it started to drift. One of his passes down the straight he didn't get it hauled down enough and went right off in the dirt. Slid right off the...
