There have been records set at altitude tracks that were wayyy off from what anyone had actually run at a "non factored" track.
When the air is good at Denver say corrected to around 5,000 ft that is when records are set , now when the air is good at a sea level say 200 feet corrected or better that is when records are set also . I would have to say that most of the time the correction factor is dead on . and as usual any one who wants to Go to A High altitude track to set a record i suspect you should just like when the air is good at a sea level track same Great air different altitude
