Can someone tell about what this
TIME SLIP.JPG
run would have been if I had ran a 1/4?
 
I've got five different ways to calculate 1/8 to 1/4 . All five show between high10.20s to high 10.30s . 129-131 mph.
 
I do too, Wallace is a fabulous resource. But even Wallace can disagree with himself. For example, Wallace 1/8 to 1/4 says op's 6.573 is 10.45, but if you plug in ideal for 106.23, he says it could go 10.teens.
The other methods I use....
Nhra uses ÷.64
Others use x1.57
Can also use x1.58
I also have a chart bookmarked on my phone.
Last is maybe the best, as it is adjustable, if you have a good slip with 1/8 and 1/4 on it. 1/8 + .22= ? Then ÷.655
So...6.573+.22=6.793 6.793÷.655=10.370
If you need to, the.22 constant can be adjusted to work best for your own car. .24 or .25 was accurate for my cars.
 
here's 1 of our slips from Sunday>

The conversion is also affected by what the car/engine is and if NOS or supercharged.
 
Thought so. Your MPH is 6+ MPH higher than my naturally aspirated with the same 60' & ET in the 1/8th.
 
Driving takes practice. If you are doing bracket racing... Lots of practice to learn both the starting line and the finish line. If you made a big jump in performance, the comfort should come fairly quickly.
 
It takes lots of runs down the track to get it right and many more to get CONSISTENT.
