actual track altitude at vegas is 2200-same as the deceased LACR in Palmdale-but-my street driven 4000 lb Buick ran a best at LACR one cold march night of 13.59-usually on a warm day there it was 13.80s on drag radials, spinning in low gear. I ran 13.35-13.45 at Vegas in the heat with the same car, driven to both tracks on drag radials-underscoring the above point-the starting line for a weekend bracket race at vegas was soooooo much better than most other places, it made my lazy street car look fast (er). Only place I ever ran this car that was better was Norwalk. I don actually understand how the altitude adjustment works via the NHRA adjustment. Jeff Lee, a shame you're not there this weekend-I follow your posts here to try and keep up with whats going on-love your car.
