[Spridgets] Am I running the wrong Speedo drive gear?

[GUY DAY]

Mark,
Surely the easiest solution would be to pace a car driven by a buddy 
travelling at a known speed.
Once you know your speedo is showing right or wrong and by how much, you can 
then move onto tacho and speedo ratios.
Typically the speedo may show a 5 to 10% overread.  (Stops you from getting 
done for speeding.)

If your buddy is wearing different gear that is his business.
