  • Altitude corrected times

    Can altidude really make this much of a difference in your times?

    I got these off someones site from this board. I wont put him on the spot though [img]tongue.gif[/img]

    15.2 N2O - (14.5 altitude corrected)

    16.2 NA - (15.5 altitude corrected)

    16.4 NA (15.7 corrected)

    Does altitude make that much of a diffence?

    You bet it does...
    Take an NHRA race at Colorado - they even have index adjustments on all the classes (Except Pros - they just run slower). Weather has a big effect on times as well. Say you run at 50 degrees, 50% humidity, and a nice fat barameter of 31. If you made the identical run at 95 degrees, 80% humidity and low barameter 28.9, you would see a drastic gain in ET. If anybody cares, I'll run those numbers through my ET predictor tonight to get an idea of how much it could gain on a typical 15.5 car.

      Glad to see you went to my site.. :D

      Acutally someone gave me a link to some formula on how to correct the times. I put those on my website so people won't email and talk $hit about my car being super slow. But on the board here, i wouldn't dare give a corrected time, it has been explained how it could be fudged etc.

      I forget the link, but I didn't just pull the numbers out of my *** . Actually I took a couple hundred feet off my elevation when I did it too.

      I am not bragging or anything, its just for comparison.

      But altitude does affect times alot.

        That's why you can't always judge by 1/4 times. A guy in TX can run a 14.6 and I run a 14.9 (St.Louis), doesn't mean he will run the same where I'm at. Weather, sea level-altitude is a HUGE factor.
