From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
There are too many variables to make an 'exact' conversion, but a close estimate can be made by multiplying your 1/8 ET by 1.55. In your case, you would be looking at around a 15.65.
Your 60' time will have a huge effect on the speed at the end of the ¼.
