Convert 1/8 times into 1/4 times?

Does anyone have a calculator or know a web site that can do this?

While I'm sure someone will come up with an equation for this. It is only an estimate at best, and very well could be far off an actual 1/4 mile run time.

I think for a typical 11-12 second TR you multiply the 1/8 et by 1.57.
Of course until ypouv'e run the number in the 1/4 it's just an estimate as I have found the second 1/8th is much harder on the car and tune is more critical.

Very true the 2nd 1/8 is way different. My dumb ass local track made itself 1/8 for the weekend due to a bunch of racers from MAINE who got snowed out at their 1/8 dragstrip.

Anyway Me & Pronto ran 8.0 & 8.7 in the 1/8. I am guessing one is in the 12's & the other in in the 13's.. Well I won't know till spring when they open up again.

Your 8.0 is a 12.48 and the 8.7 is a 13.57.

I attached a conversion chart, but not sure how readable it is??

Actually I ran a 7.9@87.32
Steve's going to have Russ look at the car when he gets back from Reynolds. Got some knock happening and we can't seem to find the cause.
