Translating lengths into time

[Scav]

I have heard the argument that 1 length is 1 second.

I personally can care less about time, haven't looked at it in the last 14 years of handicapping and don't plan on it anytime soon. There are so many things that should be considered when looking at that time, that it is of my opinion that time is pointless (considerations could be track condition, composition, depth, wind, location on track)
