Records and Altitude Factors

My opinion is records should be allowed at any track as long as the corrected altitude is no more than 500 feet below the actual altitude of the facility. This would give everybody a chance at a National Record but without the over compensation seen at altitude tracks during cold and high pressure conditions.

The NHRA could install a Standard weather station at each Member track and broadcast the data over an AM/FM station or integrate it into the Icard system. This would give the racers a standardized reference for all runs and a backup to your own weather data.

A cool product someone could built is a small radio receiver that would work in conjunction with the NHRA broadcast and would give an alpha-numeric display of the weather conditions. It could be mounted in the car for real time updates. We could purchase them for a one time fee and have official weather data at all tracks.

One other thing, FOUR time runs at Divisionals minimum!!!
