Nah, always did it longhand. If I recall, it was like 1.8" per .001 at 115 mph, so I typically just figure 2" per .001 just for guestimation purposes. Faster you go, the more distance covered per time, and vice versa (ie., be VERY impressed with Jr. Dragsters taking .00x stripe!) Had a fun one at the Spring Fling (1000') this weekend... DF/S Turismo vs a Top Sportsman car. He carried 83 mph on me!

Others have pretty well covered the theory here.
