1/4 mile, or what?

Ok, I like to drag race people, and I was wondering how long my track should be if I were to make a 1/4 mile track for my R/C car!

There are 5,280 feet in a mile.
divided by four is 1320.
so to figure it out, divide 1320 by the scale of your rc car.
1/10 scale=132 ft.
1/43 scale=30.69 ft etc...

actually yea.. i was fooling around with one of my 1:43 scale models before i posted that, so i got confused. they're 1:64

but if you read the rules for the Mini R/C drags, they use a 10 foot (i think?) drag. so if you just want to use that size.

Hmm...for some reason, it doesn't work. This happens with ALL the .pdf files I view on the internet, not sure why...

Tried that, it wouldn't dload! Well, I shouldn't say that, it DID dload, but it had no filename (ex, .jpg) I will try it again though, probably in a couple of days when I am ungrounded off the comp.. (my dad is sleeping right behind me, and I am SUPPOSED to be doing some homework, but meh )
