Thanks Mitch... Maybe Gene Rayburn can chime in here..
Some math calculations:
2 Furlongs does not equal 400 meters but equals 402.33 meters
4 Furlongs does not equal 800 meters but equals 804.66 meters
6 Furlongs does not equal 1200 meters but equal 1206.99 meters
8 Furlongs(Mile) does not equal 1600 meters but equals 1609.32 meters
Thus, if one wants to compare apples with apples, the multiplier for each 400 meters to get the same comparisons with the US Stateside usage of Furlongs will be a multiplier of 1.005825.
Now one may differ in opinion of the standing starting gate factor with no run- up. Gene Rayburn used 2 seconds....I might use 1.80 seconds....

Come on Gene Rayburn...Hibernation time over......
