At Nicholson I was running a 9-66 with a truly stock MC-20 in the historic class. I felt I had two issues, one I felt like I was at the peak RPM's a touch early on the straightaway and people easily passed me on it, second I felt a bit sluggish out of the hairpin. I qualified 3rd with a lap time of 28.4 and the fastest qualifier posted a 26.0 that's a 2.4 second advantage they had on me. So that opens up a lot of questions, was I under geared? Did they have more power than me? Were they better drivers??? So any suggestions for gearing for Avon?I doubt anyone was running anything stock .. at a minimum they was prolly running alky ..
and geared better ..not to mention you was running against mc7, mc9., mc90 .. and then big bills totally modified mc45 (101a).. lol.. you didn't stand a chance ...
