That depends on a lot of factors...

A good rule of thumb, 7.70 is roughly 12.00. In this instance he seems to have a high trap for his time. I went 7.481 @ 90 in my dads car (1.58 60') and although it wasnt a full 1/4 track, looking at other slips, an 11.7-11.9 would have been a good guess...

I would say 7.66 with a 95 mph trap, would be in the 11.7 range looking at a good 116-118 mph, maybe more?

Thanks

Racing is fun New eight mile race next weekend, and a quarter mile raceday seventh of July. Seems to be a good guess regarding the 1/4 ET. Hope to run 11.7sec. The engine feels strong.

A good rule of thumb for converting 1/8 to 1/4 is multiplying the 1/8 time by 1.565. It seems to get you within a tenth or two.
