dont know if this is in the right forum or not but how do you convert an 1/8th mile et to what it would be for the 1/4 mile? theres an 1/8 mile track round here that im prolly gonna go by soon and i wanna know how good my runs are after i do em. thanks for any help.

there is no conversion. each car is different based on gearing, hp etc so a an "X" 1/8 time does not translate into a "Y" 1/4 time. sorry

well is there any way you could estimate what youd hit in the 1/4 based on what you ran in the 1/8:shrug

Actually, if you take your 1/8th time and multiply it times 1.55, then you should get a close estimate to your 1/4th mile.
