I've saved the website you found and will hold onto the correction factors for next season - in the off season this winter I will be polling the ACTop20 membership for different changes that I am thinking of - I'll add yours to the list.
Hi James,
FYI Those correction factors look like they are for normally aspirated motors.
Turbo and supercharged cars have a different set of correction factors (much smaller), because they are not affected as much, by altitude.

Thanks for the info Cam - I wasn't aware of the difference. I will revisit that come winter time when the site gets geared up for the 2006 series.

James!
Found more track correction factors, from the official source.
NHRA Track Correction
Notice the bold print, about forced induction cars.
p.s. Mission Raceway is at sea level. No correction factor.

Its pretty funny that you can see where the elephants had been based on the amount of broken trees along the side of the road, and the \"speed bumps\" they leave behind.

I'm looking forward to altitude corrected numbers, fella.

There is still more HP to be had out of it. Stll running fat and I'm slowly approaching 12.6ish afr. I may be able to get the 60s into the 1.4 range but I may want the sissy sticks. My last pass when I did the 1.51, the front wheels were hanging aboot 2 feet in the air   :o. It was a fun day, only ran against V8s.

Its interesting, Alan's car and mine are so close to the same package, engines are very, very close , car weight is only 10 pounds different.  The 2 real differences are compression and gearing.

the next 2 races may not net me any new numbers as the tracks are 1000ish  feet (Yakima) and Vegas is ??? too high.
