Scott, Ask the guys that run Maxton, but my guess would be you would gear it
like
you would for a 9/10 mile drag race (depending where the trap was).If a
standing
mile then it would probably be 6/10. wmts

Hey Bill,
Who decided that Texas is a "central" location?........a bunch of
Texans? LOL!!! The strip sounds promising though, but another
question......how much would a person have to re-tune for the difference in
track lengths? 8000' vs 3mi or 5mi? Maxton guys would eat it up
though...right KT? serious food for thought.........
