Not the gear ratio you asked about, but very poor gearing. 3400 lbs, 535 cube stroker,5000 stall, 906 heads, 4.10 gears, 33x15x15 slicks, left in second gear by mistake. Went 10.60 on a 10.40 dial. Equals a SLR of 5.945. Same as low gear (2.45) with a 2.42 rear gear! I remember winning the round, too. The other guy spotted cords hanging out of his slicks and dialed up a full second in a panic! Racing in the eighties was easier than today!
