We brought in 1 1/8 inch cages in 1999

Gear Rule
A maximum gear ratio shall be specified for each track within 30 days of the
schedule being released in the Spring. The gear shall be such that the target
RPM reached during the Heats shall be 13,100 RPM by the top 5 cars. Car owners
shall make their recoding tachometer reading available to the race Director
immediately after the heats, before erasing them. If the average is more than
200 RPM either way from this range, the ratio shall be adjusted at least 1 hour
before the feature to fall into that range. The club may supply and install a
recording tachometer to one of the cars in the heats as necessary to confirm
RPM’s reached. This club tach is for information only, actual gear ratio as
measured on the car shall govern.
Method to determine gear ratio shall be, as follows: Remove spark plugs, place
engine in race gear, bring engine to TDC, mark rear tire at bottom, rotate
engine through 10 revolutions and observe tire rotation. Tire shall not rotate
more degrees than specified ratio. i.e. gear rule 10.33:1, tire may not rotate
more than 1 divided by 10.33 for each 10 engine revolutions or in this example
.968
revolutions. Put a stagger tape around the tire, measure circumference times
.968, tire may not rotate past .968 of circumference ( 66” tire x .968, tire
can’t rotate past 63.89” mark – 2% tolerance, max. rotation 65.16”
