New to karting trying to figure out where i should start with my gears. Local track is a 1/8 dirt oval. I have a clone.
Thank you
Here is a thread similar to yours from May.

This thread you posted is requesting gearing for flathead not clone, plus this track is a small 1/8 th just pointing this out so the OP does not think it applies same for his clone, but is a prime example of how much gearing can change based on close same size track, the track this request was about is a 12 front, there is another PA track here more central located small 1/8 th but more momentum track and it requires a 15 front driver.
I'd try 17/62 to start at Dubois provided the driver can maximize momentum, If not start on a 16/60 and yes there not the same ratio. The 1/8th here I mentioned is now seven stars was Greenwood ( Lil g ) for predator it's an 18/62 ish.What track in central Pa are you referring to? I’ll be racing at Race1 in Dubois, PA, in the stock predator class, and I’m trying to figure out where to start with gears
