lots of 1/8th strips around Dallas area...common conversion factor for translating 1/8 times into 1/4 estimate is: 1.55 X 1/8 ET = approximate 1/4 ET

savage25; ET of 8.95 equates to: 1.55 X 8.955 = 13.88 approximate

LS1LT1; ET of 7.95 equates to: 1.55 X 7.95 = 12.32 approximate

The track we took it to is in Greer, South Carolina. Its really not a good track at all. But there aren't many tracks in South Carolina at all. Theres greer, ware shoals, and carolina. I believe thats the only drag strips in S.C. Carolina is a quarter miles strip also. And is 3hours away from me. Going to go again this thursday and I will post numbers asap. Thanks!

It was actually a 12.21 on that pass so the conversion is close.
But either way he's gotta get that 1/8th mile time down.

The calculation I always used was 1.54 x 1/8th for et and 1.25 x 1/8 trap for speed.

It is close, but not always accurate.

Ls1Lt1 is a great driver... but I think the pertinent question would be what were the weather conditions when that time was run.

Yes, the car was bone stock at the time.
And yes the weather conditions were quite favorable that day.
