On a side note, last year I did the western swing for the first. At Denver we had 90 plus degree weather and 10000 foot air. I went 1.41 under on my third run and only leaned the secondarys. Needless to say I'm not crying for those who run at altitude. We get mine shaft conditions and get to shut off at a 1000 ft they get the same conditions and get records so low there unattainable at sea level.
