1/8 mile runs!!!

ok guys, first time racing we got stuck doing 1/8miles at stanton most of the day.

so anybody tell me what these 1/8's would translate to in the 1/4?



with ET DRAGS 28x10.5
r/t 1.196
60 2.169
330 6.065
1/8 9.211
mph 78.84


with yoko street tires (bald and broke loose)
r/t 1.121
60 2.409
330 6.314
1/8 9.469
mph 76.39


i was setup wrong, my street tires were bald and the slicks were too big, i still have a stock motor with no spray or anything. but i'm curious what my runs would have been in the 1/4 approximatly.

thanks,
mike

1/8 mile x 1.56 is very close to a 1/4 mile time. There are a few variables that will affect each car but that's a close enough formula to get an idea what it would run.

holy crap you're right it is damn close!

my 7.998 x 1.56 = 12.47

The actual ET that went along with it was a 12.558
