HIGH GEARING FOR BERKSHIRE BRAIN PICKER

[Larry Perkins]

Richard, I am told by people who have been there that on a good day the surface is like wet pavement.  The jetting will be a big consideration as I remember riding my 250 in Colorado and even with changed jetting it ran like a 125 as far as power went.  Thanks for the input.

Track elevation is 4212. I was over 6500 on my last ride. Some wheel slippage will have to be figured in to the gearing. Final adjustments will have to be done on the spot. Take every sprocket you can find.

And all the jets for the Bing Carb. A device that tells corrected altitude is a must as it changes often. Dont take any tow car or trailer to the Salt that you plan on keeping! Advice I got a long time ago who raced there for yrs. It proved to be really good advice![]

Gearing...jetting...good E-0 VP (or similar...) race gas...Larry, just curious, what tires will you run?

You have to get gas from the promoter and your tank is sealed for a record to be valid.  I am thinking Heindau tires as they seem to be the most used.
