since you didn't say what you already have... go down a tooth in the front or up 3 in the rear

what tire size?

The fair tracks around me are small and real tight. I gear my quad so I can ride the whole track in the same gear, usually 2nd or 3rd. That way I can clutch it in the tight spots and let her wind out on the more open spots. Usually the tracks are so small and tight that shifting would just waste too much time.

Here's an example. My quad has 14-38 gearing. At one of the tracks, dropping to a 13-38 allowed me to run the whole track in 3rd gear.

with 20 inch tires i like 13/38, with 18's 14/38. good low end and still able to rev out.
