[Fot] TR6 Close ratio gear sets

[Jack Wheeler]

Group 44 had a close ratio gear set made up for the TR-6.  Hardy Prentice used to run it in his TR-3.  I believe the first gear was 1.88.  Depending on the track and rear end gear you use, first gear may very well be usable.  I used the Dolomite Sprint gear set, ordered from England.  It had a 2.19 first gear, which was rarely used on the tracks I was running in the Midwest.

I know this has been discussed before, but most of the threads I see in the archives are a bit dated. 
We had our first CVAR event at MSR Houston this past weekend and the need for a usable 2nd and possibly 1st gear were never more noticeable. Since we will no longer be racing at TWS the time has come for me to build a close ratio box. 
what are our current options to build a close ratio TR6 box. Even though budget does not allow for the dog box option, go ahead and list it so we have a complete listing. I am particularly interested if anyone has an option where 1st is a usable gear as well. 

Thanks.
