Jørn, I suspect many of the replies you might have expected were at Paul K's
working on the time trial differences between polishing of 1/8th (pony) vs.
1/4tr (Collegiate ~ Freshman) vs. the half & full (Junior &/or Senior level)
kegs of beer vs., finally, Vodka Tonics (Graduate School.)

If you get something that reads like "...&(*%^&^$$#*^$(*7 DAMN
^)*^&)*&)-33@$#*!!!... " you'll know one or more of them made it back on
line, sort of :-).

Unfortunately I've got no BTDT experience either with obtaining a 1/8th or
1/4tr mile time, much less how to extrapolate one from the other.

However, if there is someone out there working up the math, it might be
helpful to know where &/or what gear(s) changes you went through between 0
and 88.25 mph at the trap?

Is that one shift or two?

All the best,
mlp
