no need for a fancy calculator. here's how to figure it.

distance traveled up the ramp (on the ramp surface, not on the ground) divided by wheelbase, x 1000.

ex: 120" wheelbase truck travels 100" up the ramp..
120/100 = .833
.833 x 1000 = 833 RTI

also keep in mind, that once a tire is lifted from the ground, be it front or rear, you have surpassed your RTI score. to properly score it, you must have 1 tire on the ramp, and 3 tires on the ground.

you want a cookie? i assumed that if you went to the trouble of posting it you knew what an RTI ramp was for, and how to use it. the info wasnt intended for you, it was for anyone else whomay find it useful. sorry i cluttered up your post.
