Jul 18, 2004 I am trying to figure out how many feet there is in an 1/8 mile track. My local track has a very small drag strip, It's not even an 1/8 of a mile long. I beleive it is only 320 or 330 feet. So if someone knows how many feet there is in the 1/8 mile that would be great. Thanks. Joined Sep 14, 2002 · 1,950 Posts Joined Jul 9, 2002 · 694 Posts
Discussion Starter · #3 · Jul 18, 2004 Much appreciated - Thank you. I pretty sure that my local track is only 330 feet, Making it only a 1/16 mile. Does anyone know how to convert 1/16 mile times into 1/8 mile times? I know that converting 1/16 mile times into 1/4 mile times there is a formula of taking your 1/16 mile time and multiplying it by 2.2. I am trying to figure
out what I would run in the 1/8 mile. My 1/16 mile time slip is 6.8 seconds at 62 mph. Thanks once again for any more help. Joined Jun 17, 2002 · 3,814 Posts
15.50 would be an educated guess. Joined Jan 1, 2001 · 2,129 Posts

I forget where this track was.... JC 11-12-2001, 01:16 PMJoin Date: Jun 1999 Location: Oak Point, Texas Posts: 1,487 Likes: 0 Received 0 Likes on 0 Posts OK. I just measured and....... Madness, I got 610' to the 1/8th mile, but my feet are a little oversize. MRBBQMAN My 60' while measuring was 5.2 seconds.
