Quote: when bucky ran 8.51 at maple groove,, he picked up 30mph,, which is rockin,, 29 is good,, 28 is the normal,, 27 you are down on power or a problem somewhere. when fred ran that 8.49,, i think he picked up 28 jeff
Jeff, in looking at the MPH ratios, CWs run has the 1/8 MPH to be right at 80% (0.8 times) of the 1/4 MPH. Don't you think the ratio is a more consistent indicator than the speed differential? The percentage rule can be applied to almost any class, whereas the MPH Delta will change from slow cars to fast ones and over time for SS/AH.
Maybe I took that dimensional analysis stuff too seriously in engineering school? 80% is what I got for a theoretical ratio for 1/8 MPH / 1/4 MPH. .64 is what I calculated for 1/8 ET / 1/4 ET.
