Well, I'm committed, or at least my family thinks I should be! After being away from karting for 30-odd years, I'm busily setting up my '73 Bucket Bug to run the over 60 class (I understand it's affectionately referred to as the "Geezer Class" - it's OK, I qualify) at Sandy Hook in May, or, at least, that's the plan. Also hoping to do Cuddebackville and/or Oreville this year and maybe Avon next year.
I'll be running a basically box stock Mac 91B1 with a Margay gearbox. I'm trying to get a handle on gear ratios. From what I've learned so far, I want to be in the high 6's to low 7's:1, which puts me squarely in one of the gaps in my gear set supply. Can anyone give me more insight into gearing and are gear sets available anywhere?
