Cant help you with gearing, I run a Tag. Can tell you a good group of HPV guys camp and pit in turn 5 area past shower/bathroom area.
Im sure they can help you out Friday eve or early Sat. morning. Depending when you get to track.
Im in same area. I got an Italkart with a Rotax, #23. Look for me if you dont see them. |

What HPV do you have? As Jeff said, don't worry too much as you'll be able to get help in plenty of time for practice. It's always nice to be prepared though so I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

I would guess too. I believe a TaG Runs 16:74 which is a 4.625 ratio. depending on the motor of course. Haven't heard back on gearing for your HPV as soon as I do I'll let you know.
This page might help yo work out some figures, be sure to correct the tire circumference if needed: http://www.gokartracing.org/Calculate.htm
