Default Math question...

Does anybody know if there is a formula to estimate what a 1/4 mile e.t. might be based upon an 1/8 mile e.t.?

Not sure if it makes a difference but the link you gave was for motorcycles

This is the cars one http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/...tors/index.php

It was pretty close on my ET's but I did not see a 1/8 to 1/4 estimator.
