How does headwind effect mph?

Hey all!

Just curious, is there an equation that calculates how headwind effects 1/4 mile MPH? A general rule of thumb? I've searched on the internet to no avail. Thoughts?

I don't think there's any question it makes a difference. I'd say from my experience, with comparable temp/humidity/baramoter readings and the only difference being a 20mph headwind.....maybe knocks 2mph off the big end trap.

so maybe 10mph wind equals 1mph trap?
