: 1/10 mile to 1/4 mile conversion?

Does anyone have an idea about converting 10th mile times to get approximate 1/4 mile times?

10th mile times are:
7.167 @ 75.24mph
7.258 at 72.93mph.
I also had a few 7.4x's at 75.XX mph

This was the first time racing the car. They didn't have any lights up at 60ft so I don't have any times for that. I can tell you they would have been quite slow. Traction was horrible and first gear was useless.

If you mean 1/8 mile, Here (http://cochise.uia.net/pkelley2/eight-to-quarter.htm) is a chart.

Thanks for the chart Pat. It is 10th mile though. 520 feet.

Pat,
It may be 1/10 mile....MPH is too low for those times. ;)

You're right. I wasn't paying close enough attention.
