Is There A Formula to Convert...?

Bill Wilson · 11-11-2009, 11:59 PM

I ran a personal best 1/8th mile last Sunday at Seven-10 Dragway in Rowland, NC. I ran a 7.624 ET @ 86.93 MPH and I was wondering if there is a realistic formula for converting 1/8th mile ETs into estimated 1/4 mile ETs? Thanks

That should be just enough to get you into the 11s, an 11.98 to be as close to exact as possible.

Yeah, should be high 11.9x. Last time out, I went 7.79 1/8 @ 89 mph, and 12.22 1/4 @ 112. You're already .17 quicker than me to the 1/8. The only cause for concern would be that you're 2 mph slower, but I suspect that's insignificant.

What was the DA?

What's your 60' with that 3400 stall?

Good to see someone a little closer to my league in here!

1/8 et times 1.546 ........Very crude but works pretty good on cars that are averege cars......not something that is all 60' and no top end or vice versa.

My C4 is very 60-foot car - runs 1.54 60 foot time but 'only' 11.55 quarter. That being said, my ratio of the quarter to the eighth is about 1.58. Typical ratios range from 1.54 to 1.58, depending on setup. You'd quite possibly break into the 11's with that eighth time.
