If the tracks were at over an 1000' elevation, we ran off of altitude corrected records. Around here (Div 4 seldom has "good air") I won points races running a tenth off my record. The fast car there that day. Didn't see a lot of brake lights before the finish line back then. :-)

Kinda comical at national events around here, and the World Finals when held here, to see national record holders that had set their records at Atco, NJ or Fremont, CA show up here, and could not run fast enough to qualify. They just thought they were real fast because of the tracks back home.
And, people not bright enough to not set records in mineshaft conditions made it tough for others running their class.

We didn't all have these weather stations & Crew Chief Pro software back then. All we knew was "Man, it's slow here!" :-)
