Correct me if I'm wrong but considering that 8.997 is -1.403 under the sea level index doesn't that mean that combo gets a hit on Monday?

Yes

For those who balk at the altitude correction factors according to one of the posts they were in 1000’ of air and 30.42 barometer.
The track altitude is 2100 feet.
So you can kind of think of it as going to Montgomery and having -1000 foot air.
Its mineshaft air for an altitude track not an out of whack correction factor.

That car will run 1.40 under at sea level, it's only a matter of time before it gets hit.

Come on guys.... everybody knows that a 30.42 barometer at 2100' is a CORRECTED BAROMETER and not the actual barometric pressure.

A corrected barometer cannot be used to determine density altitude.
