We started with our 1/4-mile final gear ratio of 1.94 when testing in Mexico. Today we started with a 2.06 ratio & it was a bit too much rpm. The next testing will be done with a 2.0 ratio & should put us in the sweet spot.

We weren't planning on bringing the drag quad back this soon to the track, bringing it out Feb 14th for testing. We are testing the drag bike at the same time. The bike hasn't been out for 2 or 3 years. The bike will be run the same weekend for the #3 & #4 points races.

Anyway, we are going to test the 1.94 rear gear that we use for the 1/4 mile for 1/8th mile testing. We also bought a billet aluminum clutch cover that will make clutch changes a bit easier! The clutch is key to making these quads launch good with the crappy gearing.

I also built a new upper wheelie bar because we ran out of adjustment with the current bar.

I still think the 2.00 final ratio will be the right ratio for the 1/8th mile. The clutch we are leaving alone for the 1st pass but think it's correct for the street legal drags. We might make an adjustment for the track. We have been 1.3x in the 60' with the 1.94 ratio.
