Tom:
Thank you...Thank you. You and I are both using the same formula...the
constant is 168. Others use a constant of 336(which requires a
diameter). The discussion generally indicates they are both accurate
enough to get the job done. It seems like us old guys (using drag racing
math from the 60's) like the 168 constant and these young "kids" like
the 336 constant. :-)

(Snip..) I have used the following formula in my computer spread
sheet for a number of years and find it very accurate. RPM X Tire Radius
divided by the Gear Ratio X 168 = Speed. (snip...)
