i am still amazed in this day and age the only thing nhra uses is ET to change indexes. they need to use horsepower correction factor along with the ET that was run.
With the weather reading/ tracking technology that has evolved since the 1970's i have to believe there is a realative easy way to establish a system to decide if it was just great conditions or a great run.
as someone who raced on 0 elevation tracks (atco et al)and then going to indy, 1000ft +/- , can see there needs to be some way to level the numbers.
and i know there will still be arguements, but with hand held weather station devices able to calculate correction factors on the spot, there has to be a way to make it work 99pct of the time.
