Gearing for Broadford speedway track?
« on: March 23, 2012, 08:30:40 am »
Hi,
My father in law is dragging his Jawa 500, with a RL Westlake 4 valve cylinder head conversion out of retirement for HBBB. He was wondering if anyone new what gearing we should run for the track at Broadford? Thanks, Dewy.

Broadford is 680m. There is a bit of info on this site (how long). Hope that helps     Mark

I was recomended to run 17 crank/ 58 rear wheel  ::) 680m sounds huge? I thought most speedway tracks where around 400m long?  ???
