Post What kind of 1/4 time would this be

All we have around here is a 1/8 mile track. I ran a 8.59 with a 2.23 60ft @ 88.3 mph on a 100shot...... elevation of track is like 1400

Using the formula that seems to be popular choice.......multiply that 1/8 by 1.56 and it's like a 13.40. Not sure what that would be for altitude correction,but it's an idea.

I would guess a 13.2-13.0. You have to remember he wasn't putting all the power down in the 1/8 but he can for the next 1/8 so he will be coming on stronger on the big end.

We are similar in times, and I haven't run the quarter either, so let me know if you run the 1/4 anytime soon.
