Using this as a base run for Dick
60 Foot ET = 1.2610
330 Foot ET = 3.2993
1/8 Mile ET = 5.0027
1/8 Mile MPH = 143.8002
1000 Foot ET = 6.4845
1/4 Mile ET = 7.7378
1/4 Mile MPH = 180.7199

Adjusting HP to run a 4.70 1/8
60 Foot ET = 1.2610
330 Foot ET = 3.1959
1/8 Mile ET = 4.7026
1/8 Mile MPH = 163.9271
1000 Foot ET = 5.9938
1/4 Mile ET = 7.0776
1/4 Mile MPH = 209.3575

Only adjusting traction to what is a very good level I get for original HP
60 Foot ET = 1.1182
330 Foot ET = 3.1069
1/8 Mile ET = 4.7996
1/8 Mile MPH = 144.4379
1000 Foot ET = 6.2764
1/4 Mile ET = 7.5268
1/4 Mile MPH = 181.0883

Adjusting HP to run a 4.70 1/8
60 Foot ET = 1.1181
330 Foot ET = 3.0550
1/8 Mile ET = 4.7038
1/8 Mile MPH = 148.2784
1000 Foot ET = 6.1407
1/4 Mile ET = 7.3560
1/4 Mile MPH = 186.2593

PS - There is like a 20% change that I will be able to drive down on Saturday. From Philadelphia which way is better, I 95 and I 97 or I 95 and 301?
Stan,

Last time I went to Capitol (from NC), I drove up north of Baltimore to visit family after racing. When I left the track, I took 301 north, to 97, to 695 (Francis Scott Key Bridge) to 95 north. If you reverse the order It might be a good route for you driving down from the North.

As far as numbers go, everything can be explained through math, I wish I understood half of it.
