Bosie, It Seems To Me.......

I guess if you want to get rid of altitude adjustments (or revise them), NHRA should also limit boost pressures to that prescribed to factory specifications since boost will alter the atmospheric conditions seen by the engine. Would that be a fair assesment?

From what I've heard, Boise isn't anywere close to "mineshaft" conditions this year. The current #1 qualifier is Don Little. He holds the National record @ 9.97 in SS/JA and I've seen him run similar times at sea level tracks. Here's his adjusted times after 3 rounds of qualifying:

624 GT/FA Don Little, Westley CA, '70 Challenger 10.025 11.47 -1.445

Looks like they may have Don incorrectly listed under SS/FA when he should be in SS/JA if still running his 383. SS/FA would normally be a 440-6 in a Challenger.
