Okay i was at the track sunday and with my cal tracs and limited slip rearend i saw my best times ever. But i have a question...let me give both times and then i will ask my question. Compare my old and new numbers
old numbers
1/8th mile 7.69 at 88
1/4 mile 12.17 at 108

new numbers
1/8th mile 7.42 at 90
Okay i couldnt run 1/4 mile sunday because it was an 1/8th mile only track. I was trying to get an estimate of what my time in the 1/4 would have been. If i take the difference at the 1/8 mile it is .27 seconds. So would the .27 be doubled at the 1/4 mile mark or would it be just .27 off the 12.17?

I was thinking about it and this is what I came up with. The black mamba run mid to low 6 second 1/8th miles and low 10 1/4 miles. At the 1/8 it is app. 1 second faster then my truck...at the 1/4 it is app. 2 seconds faster than me. It doubles...but somebody else i asked said that that isnt right? Would someone please enlighten me?
 
that link works out close to most of my time slips.
or 1/8 mile et X 1.55= 1/4 mile et.
1/8 mile mph x 1.25 =1/4 mile mph.
this works out to be pretty close.
