anyone know go kart physics?

WEll, I'm going to be building a go-kart come spring (right now building a mini chopper bike).

According to some simple math, a small 1.85:1 gear ratio would give me about a 66mph top speed, but only in theory.
Can anyone tell me what the probably truer top speed will be after factoring in wind resistance, et al. ?
