Hello All, Last summer was my son's first season. We ran a sealed clone/fixed sprocket size class at our local track. Switching to 206 for the coming season and planning on doing ckna schedule in addition to local races. Looking to sort what drivers/sprockets I should have on hand. What gear ratio range will we need to be able to cover? What's the typical step size made between ratios. Still newbies and not looking to get a truck load of gears but want to be able to get in the ballpark. thanks!
 
No idea what ckna tracks are . More track info would help .
Steps could be as little as 1 tooth or 5 on the rear .
 
April 17-19: Whiteland Raceway Park – Whiteland, IN
May 15-17: East Lansing Kart Track – East Lansing, MI
June 5-7: Concept Haulers Motor Speedway – Norway, IL
July 10-12: Mid-State Kart Club – Springfield, IL
August 21-23: CTECH Manufacturing Motorplex at Road America – Elkhart Lake, WI
October 2-4: New Castle Motorsports Park – New Castle, IN

Missing the first because of conflict with school event. Probably go to Thompson, OH too bc folks live there.
 
Are you on Facebook at all? If so get a hold of Steve Pribyl or go to the wild duck racing webpage and contact him there. His son Jason runs Junior and could tell you the gearing for almost all those tracks.
 
Thompson is a 4.18 ratio. Keep in mind that yellow slide ratios are nearly identical to the Sr class so ask those people to share as well. Even better would be to start learning on your own.
