Sounds sort of like a top fueler or a funny car, it's all in the clutch to get it hooked up and down the track. :bigthink:

Don my wife looked at the vid and said she thinks your hot. :biggrin2:

the one thing you don't realize watching the vid is there were 30 tractors in the finals that day. they just used the top 7 since that made up a 1/2 hour TV slot. before the finals ran there were 5 heats that totaled over 80 tractors. they took the top 6 from each heat to the finals.so there was a little competition to get there

80 tractors in a class would be awesome.

Austin is right on the money. WOT and easy on the clutch. in the NQS vid that I posted its not uncommon to ride the clutch 20 to 30 feet t keep the revs up . you should see some of the clutch's we take out that are all burnt blue,.
Thanks for sharing guys. I'll give that a try next year. Don, you da man :beerchug:

Would a 20% under drive drop the stock 19 tooth second gear to a 16 tooth equivalent? Also, would a 16 tooth second gear be a good choice if you were only using one pulling gear? The engine is only 12 hp now but I plan to try and get 16 hp or so out of it.

20 % is pretty close, what size tires are you planning on running?

I have 23s and 26s so I can run different classes.
