Re: Drag race time conversions

[Don Gallimore <dongallimore@xxxxxxx>]

Quarter Aces at Carlisle blurted out the 1.56-1.57 conversion.  I 
checked my 1/8 ets versus the charts and using that number seemed like a 
pretty good conversion. 

Also, I do have printed charts from a couple of locations which while 
they were not exactly the same, were very close to each other.
