I have run my super stock car all of this great nation and have set records at both altitude and sea level. When comes down to it it is all about air you get good air in denver you run fast just the same if you get good air at Atco. You still have to have a good car and have your tune right. If I remember right the chart used by nhra was aviation and about power loss due to altitude. The corection factors may be alittle off but remember NHRA is in charge of it and to get them to get it right might take years. All I can say it is close and we that race stock superstock have a lot more things to worry about than this. Tom
