The Keir Stocker is absolutely 1st rate craftsmanship - but is it legal?

Fred Johnston has commented that the qualifying time of Adam Kier's A/SA car was not, in fact the equivalent of a 9.95, but more like a 10.25.

Here is his qualifying time for the eighth-mile:

5 1470 A/SA Adam Keir, , '70 Nova 6.471

I don't know how to extrapolate that time to a quarter-mile equivalent, so what I did was to go to National Dragster's INDEX page and find an eighth-mile index as close as I could to the 6.471 Adam turned.

The eighth-mile index for SS/A just happens to be 6.47. Close enough, wouldn't you say?

The quarter-mile index (for that class) is 9.95.

I couldn't do any better than that. If that's wrong, I don't know why.

HOWEVER, the online computer I use, said this:

"Your 1/4 Mile ET is 10.22 seconds computed from your vehicle 1/8th ET of 6.471 seconds."

So, Fred may be a lot closer than NHRA is.........

Go figure....
