Gerald,
Sadly, I have a few time slips that have a higher MPH at the 1/8 than at the 1/4. Where the hell is 4th gear on these things?

Here is some of my data.

1/8th 1/4 1/4 / 1/8
7.04 10.879 1.546
7.02 10.845 1.544
7.06 10.885 1.543
7.05 10.949 1.554
7.14 10.968 1.536
7.27 11.090 1.526
7.45 11.323 1.519
7.38 11.263 1.526
8.09 12.450 1.539
7.81 12.083 1.546
7.86 12.155 1.547
7.97 12.134 1.522
8.05 12.239 1.521
8.02 12.246 1.527
8.07 12.262 1.519
8.09 12.290 1.518
8.17 12.332 1.510
8.09 12.336 1.524
8.15 12.338 1.515
8.14 12.393 1.523
8.19 12.395 1.514
8.15 12.422 1.525
8.18 12.435 1.520
8.16 12.436 1.524
8.22 12.477 1.518
8.19 12.478 1.524
8.26 12.514 1.516
8.23 12.535 1.524
8.29 12.563 1.516
8.30 12.582 1.517
8.26 12.597 1.525
8.27 12.605 1.525
8.32 12.610 1.515
8.35 12.636 1.513
8.37 12.636 1.510
8.36 12.704 1.520
8.34 12.756 1.530
8.39 12.819 1.528
8.77 13.159 1.500

Average = 1.525
std. dev. = .012

This seems to work for me and for others. Even into the 9's.

PS. Those high 12's (and a 13, doh!) were for research purposes only!
