Title: Gearing for Barber
Post by: ccs354 on September 08, 2003, 01:29:19 PM
What gearing is anyone running for Barber Motorsports Park (1998 Kawasaki ZX-6R)?  Any suggestions?  Any comparison in gearing to Summit Point as a starting point?

Thanks.

if it helps...i ran the same gearing that i do at Summit and VIR.  For my 98 gsxr600 it's 16/47.  However, the straights are really short and i don't think i made it to 6th gear at all.  Definitely a better gear selection could have been made, but since no one had been there before...trial and error.  I'll know better next year and will experiment.
