Default 1/8 to 1/4 mile conversion chart

Before my puter crashed, I had a chart that you could compare a 1/8th mile run to a 1/4 mile run.

Anyone know where I can find it again?

Thanks

Here you go....

http://www.velocidad-maxima.com/calcu/calcu.htm

The formula is...

¼ Mile ET = (1/8 Mile ET + .22) / .655
1/8 Mile ET = (¼ Mile ET * .655) - .22

This one is fun too....

Multiply your 1/8 et by 1.56. Its pretty accurate.

y2k, that's a conversion I haven't seen before, and seems to be a lot closer to my actual et than the 1.56 multiply one (probably based on cars that run the back-half of the 1/4 mile better than the 1/8 mile).

NHRA's split for 11.00 in the 1/8 mile is 7.00

I find that multiplying my 1/8th mile ET by 1.57 comes closest to what my car runs in the 1/4 mile.
