Live from las vegas

What is the altitude of this track? I'm seeing posted 2800ft. Im sure this is corrected. I'm asking because the indexes are .25 or so higher at Vegas. 2800 ft isn't bad at all. We ran in 3900ft of air at Dallas this year.

It's 2100ft. I thought it was .15 higher indexes at this race. I'm sure Super Gas had a 10.05 index at Las Vegas a couple of years ago however (seen it on youtube, lol).

Google Earth shows the starting line as 2003 feet but that may be before any earthmoving to build the track. They didn't build it up any higher.

Some pretty stout numbersm i see the SS/AH is listed at 9.84 at altitude, so what's the new Sea Level index?

The new sea level index is 9.60.

Well, for all you Cobra Jet "fans" out there, they'll be getting some HP on Monday.

Car#-Driver(Opp'nt)-RT-----ET---Speed
4135 Brent Hajek
C1 ****WINNER**** 0.392 9.867 134.85
A/SA Index: 11.58 (+/-): -1.713

That's -1.433 under the sea level A/SA index. Even though they're running at altitude it results in an automatic hit.

For those that are curious, it corrects to a 9.627.

Brent Hajek went 9.867@134.85 in A/SA (-1.713 under the index) with a .392 light against Bill Howell (MOV: 0.699) in the first round of class & still is able to get the win! That’s getting it done! Chad Holzman went 9.962@133.67 (-1.618 under the index) right in front of him! I know this is Vegas, but where is the line for getting horsepower on Monday at a factored track?

I bet poor Bill about Shat himself when that thing went by..

9.90 in A auto is the line for 1.40

Tom P · 10-29-2009, 04:06 PM

Too bad Bill's front wheel drive turbo minivan doesn't fit the class... it'd run better than 1.71 under.
