im not sure about the formulas, but i think with such a distance between the 1/4 and full mile, gearing would come into play. maybe not so much with the 1/8 to 1/4. just for an example, a lower hp moter with deeper gears could run the same trap as a higher hp motor with steep gears....one would have the advantage of gearing, the other through shear power. though at a mile, the deeper geared car would run out of breath, while taller geared would keep pulling......at least so i think.....
