Use Jim's 6.2 seconds(in fifths) per 1/2 furlong to equalize distances "Mu". Here is the adjustment dealing with 8.3f distances

8f to 8.3f - add 4.2 seconds
8.3f - to 8.5f - add 2 seconds

going back from 8.3-8 and 8.5-8.3 the numbers would be subtracted.

Do NOT get tied up with focusing only on today's EXACT distance when looking for power lines ok? DO NOT.

Consider Hat's "universal adjustment" when mixing distances within the structure ( sprint/route). It is part of this amazing thing called Jim Bradshaw's matchup. Virtually NOBODY will do this.
