Gearing for Kershaw S.C. for Honda 600RR

I have never had my honda at Kershaw and if you have any info on gearing for that track i am open to suggestions.........thanks.

 

Have you been to VIR?

 

gear for acceleration...you shouldn't even use that much of 6th

 

And why is that?

 

Shorter straights sucko....


Rookies

 

this is a good question. Since i only have one day ever at that track, and that was 3 years ago, i have no idea what gearing i should use. What SE track is it most like? RRR, Tally, Barber??

 

I think close to VIR. A few flowing turns, then a nice staight going downhill into a righ hander that if you nail carries you thru a sweeping straight 6th gear 150 or more into a tight left, switch back then right leading into the main straight.
I might have missed a turn, but I bet there is a track map someplace.
It's fast enough. Greenie wath gearing should I use for Road A?

 

damn, thats just it, ive never been to VIR. another track that it might be close to??

 

Start out using Talladega gearing. There is no real long straight (the back straight is longest). It really is 2 tracks in one, the first half is flowing turns, the second half is point and shoot.

 

thanks Brian. From what i remember of it, the first half is like RRR, the second half is actually more tech. than Tally. I had planned on using Tally gearing to start with, just wanted to make sure that it was close.

 

Yeah that sounds about right. If anythig you might go up a tooth in the back.

 

Wow, my notes say we ran a 44/15 last year. 45/15 at Tally.

 

Well gee do your notes say how slow you ran?

 

DAYUMNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

My laps say 1:48.9

 

Neither can I.


But I ran 40's.

 

Fastest SV Endurance was 47
So I take it you were on the 600

 

Ok then I was turning 35's.

 

I hope to make this one. I plan on running 20s

 

I would go down a gear in the back from what you use at Tally. You can definitely use the extra top end on the back straight.
