Can anybody give me some idea of how to gear my bike for Mid-Ohio? Would gearing that was good for Heartland Park and Blackhawk Farms be OK or will I be seriously short geared?
Any thoughts and ideas would be appreciated.

Hey George,
Have never been there myself, either, but have asked around a bit. The recommendations I've gotten range from slightly longer that BHF gearing to close to Road America gearing. I think I'm going to start with HPT gearing, and then adjust as required.
BTW, I'll let you know when I get a garage assignment for Mid-Ohio. I sent the form in awhile ago, but haven't heard anything yet.
See you there,
Roy
From the exit of the Key hole, to the Beach, is a long long stretch.
Then everything else is tight.

Sounds like 15-46 or 45 for a SS SV. Comments? faxed in my pre-reg. last night. Had a faster day @ BHF yesterday as evidenced by tire wear and body condition this morning. Lost 3-4 lbs of body weight yesterday!!
George, I'll be running RA gearing on the Monsters; otherwise, you run out of gear on the straight and have to choose between overrev or losing ground. I was one tooth off (shorter than RA gearing) when I went there a coupla weeeks ago and it didn't seem like it was geared too tall in the tight stuff.
BTW, I have your electrical splitters. Sorry I didn't call, it's not like you live a mile from me. Oh, wait....
Anyone from the MA region know if the straight at Ohio is shorter or longer than VIR or Summit?
I'd guess it's a little shorter than VIR, but not much. I would say going with VIR gearing would be a good start.
