when the JOHNNIES get the gassers, they may all want to cook with GAS...
they also have a top notch timing system.. 25 foot one piece orange track, will be so cool to see what times the gassers turn.
with the close racing we have had it will be neet to see just how short of a time "by a fender" really is...
ditto carl, i bet that there will be little difference between 1 and 16 ..
race 'em rhode island...
Does anybody have a formula for converting 25 foot 1/64 scale times into 1:1 1/4 mile times?
I believe a 1:64 equivalent of a 1/4 mile is about 18-feet. Is that what you need?
3/16 inch = 1 foot in 1:64 scale. So 1 inch = ~6.4 feet in 1:64; 1 foot = ~77 feet in 1:64
There's 5280 feet in a mile, so one mile in 1:64 scale is somewhere around 68 feet of orange track...so 17 feet of orange track is 1/4 mile in scale.
I just made this little calculator tool for turning miles into feet of orange track. Might help a bit.

Ah, yes I thought around 18 feet was = to 1/4 mile.
I was jokingly asking about converting the time it takes to travel that distance.
Does anybody have a formula for converting 25 foot 1/64 scale times into 1:1 1/4 mile times?
On a 25ft track, if you multiply the times in seconds by 64 you'll have the scale time (in seconds) for just a tiny bit over 1/3 mile.
Ya' gotta' remember that these HW GASSERS don't 'launch' to well!
Thanks for the calculator Brian.
I played around with that thing...Now, how many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
YOu guys are doing it right, love all of the racing you're doing. Keep it up!
