Anyway to calculate 1/8 mph from a 1/4 timeslip? Im curious to my 1/8 mph because i wanna see if my car is running normal at that point. The track i goto leaves the mph for the 1/8 blank but calculates everything else. Anyway to extrapulate the 1/8 mph from the time slip?

Pretty close. What'd you run in the 1/4, 108 n'change? If so then 85 or 86 is right in the ballpark. I can give you an example of how my car ran when the former owner had it. With 308 to the tires through a PY3400 stall and 12 bolt it went 8.21 @ 86.9 in the 1/8th and on the same pass it went 12.67 @ 109.9 with a 1.86 60' time.

These "calculations" don't mean much at all in my experience. Some cars are fast off the line and others aren't. My 1/8 mile speeds and ET's more often than not suck when compared to others, but my car more than makes up for it in the last 1/8 mile because it's a real top-end performer. Your best bet is to talk to the track officials and ask them why their timeslips are f**ked up. The fact of the matter is, the 1/8 stats shouldn't be blank.
