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!

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.
