For those of you that race at Lancaster Dragway on occasion, I'll let you in on a little secret. Your times will be a little slower than at any decent FLAT 1/4 mile tracks 1/8th split. Lancaster has a slight grade going uphill on the start which causes this. For example, if you consistently run 9.0's at Lancaster then you decide to head out to NYIRP, your 1/8th split will be 8.85 or so, it's usually around a tenth and a half quicker. To figure out what you'd run at a 1/4 mile track from ANY 1/8th mile time, simply multiply by 1.55. This assumes you have a good launch, and/or your car isn't some top-end monster like Bill's. So......if you are always running at Lancaster around a 9.0 and you want to know what it would run at NYIRP, just subtract .15=8.85 then multiply by 1.55=13.71sec

Uphill slope eh?? Not good.

Also...use that 1.55x to get an idea of your 1/4 times. Please don't claim them until you run them.
I know all about corrected numbers racing where I do. I claim what I run.

Hmmm... Never been to lancaster or heard of this, good info.

I've been to ESTA (Syracuse) quite a few times, tracks not the best, but definitely not the worst either.

I drive by lancaster on 90 all the time, but have never stopped. So is NYIRP a better track or no?
