Gearing 4 300ft drag racing

[wildbansheeboy]

What is the best gearing set up 4 300ft drags?Is it better to go low and start in a higher gear or is it better to go high my banshee has lots of mods but this gear thing is one thing I am still working on right now I have a 13 on front and 44 on rear and start in 2nd but I think I can get better times if I play with my gears .Any Ideas?

I drag race in 300ft I am am running 15/41 gearing and It has been working for me for two years

i run 14/43 and it works great for me, in the 300ft i barely hit 5th gear, and have a good launch in 2nd...unfortnately i'm getting beat by too many people...time for upgrades!! and a job!!

i would try gearing up some. i run 15/44 on my 4mm setup for hillclimbs but on a flat drag race i know i can pull a lot more gear than that...

We need your tire size to help.Also what are your mods.You are geared to low unless you have bigger tires.

[wildbansheeboy]

The tires I use are paddles 22x10x9

gearing has alot to do with rider wieght, how strong of a motor (stroker, stock, play port , race port, etc.), how many paddles or size tire, How light of bike (drag or stock frame), how long of swingarm, and what your runnin on for a track!

Your current gear sounds pretty low to me. Unless you wiegh 400 lbs and run 12 paddle taller haulers with stock swingarm!
