grubby what is your thought about this ,more mph or faster down the straights .and what about the jp`s that are just starting out .might be a little fast for them .might be great for the older kids with more experience.and what about going to3800 rpm or 3850.would be good on a long track but don`t know on a short tracks.might be something to kick around the more experienced drivers and sense you don`t have a stock class,maybe a 9yr. old to a 11 yr. old 9 to 1 class then move up to 7 to 1 class when there 12 yrs old to 15 yrs old and get some seat time under there belt.could build a good ss or jp and change gearing as they get older. thanks just my 2 cents doesn`t mean much. tony

i WOULD HATE to see more classes added. Here is something we me John and several others have kicked around. Keep J/P as it is... Then the Super Stock class simply bump up the Ratio to 7 to 1 or 6.5 to 1 whatever it may be. No age restrictions on Super Stock. Only restriction is minors (kids) must have one year experiance in the 8 to 1 class before being allowed to move up into the faster class. THE thought process here is it will put driving and handling more to play may spread the wad out a little your gonna have to back off some for the corners and will the handle and drive back into the racing instead of a talladega freight train for 20 laps.

Just drop the Super Stock class and have 2 j/p classes. One for beginners(9 to 1?) and one for experienced(7 to 1?). Any one running SS can move up a class. It would be the same only not governed... What is the potential MPH for a 7to1 ratio?

7 to 1 ratio in 5th gear 20/30 internal gearset Transmission, up from 8 to 1 is only gaining 3.5 mph. 6.5 to 1 gets you a little over 5 mph gain. Thats at 3650.
They are simply kicking ideas thats been passed to them. Seeing what racers thoughts are. Then I pass the thoughts back to them.

How about staying 8 to 1 and going un governed for the adult classes. We seen some of these run this last weekend and was impressed. They run a lot closer race then you would think.and was a bit faster. Most stock engines will only pull wheel speed to about 4400 RPM anyway. We have to keep in mind we have a lot of father son teams and or mother daughter teams that share same mower. Need to figure out how to override gov from 1 class to the other. I think it can be done simple and fast.

Yup after further thinking just leave it alone with one exception. OPEN it up to 17hp motors and below or those running other assoc will not be legal with us....
