1/4 vs 1/8 mile drag racing.

I use to race 1/4 mile back in Michigan.  Down here in North Carolina it's all 1/8 mile racing.  On the 1/4 mile track my stocker does 12 seconds flat if I am doing my job.  Anyone have any guesses what I might run in the 1/8 mile?

I will play along and guess, cause that is what this is,  1/4 time of 12 sec would be somewhere between 7.5 and 8 sec.

Are we factoring in the weight of shoes and wet clothes?

7.7 seconds according to this table.

Edit: This one does the conversion for both ET and speed.

I believe Matt was refering to  Trout riding in a downpour last summer  to attend my Zukey Lake KZR party. Soaked to the bone..  But I like the toilet  line too

I was focused on weight reduction !   

I did not think to try and google for a calculator for something like this.  Thanks!  I was really just looking for someone that had maybe done the same thing and had a guess.  I will find out soon enough.  I hope to hit Mooresville Dragway in the next couple of weeks for a test and tune.

I saw that on the internet, crazy Fast!  I'd love to witness a run that fast.
 

I went to the track last night for test and tune.  Out of 6 runs I made 3 of them were 7.7 seconds at 89 mph.  The other 3 runs: I slept at the line on the first pass (first time on a pro tree for me) and the other 2 I dumped the clutch and smoked the tire off the line.  I almost dropped my bike getting it off the trailer, luckily there was a guy nearby who came to my rescue!  It was good to be back on the track and having some fun.  It was a little rough on me too.  I got kicked by one of our horses a few months ago and last night proved I probably need to go get a MRI on that knee.  I don't know what I was doing to irritate it but by the end of the track I was sticking my leg out straight to relieve the pain (at 89 mph).  Getting old sucks.  I had 2 guys trying to buy my bike.  One guy asked every time he walked by me. wrote: 7.7 seconds according to this table.

As a (very) young man, I got to witness Russ Collins set the speed record of 199.55 MPH. Like Larry's run, it took much body english to keep it on track.
