It just shows how well nhra knows how to factor! Either the alt. factor is worng, or the horsepower is wrong! But I know one thing that is wrong, You can set a record at vegas divisional, But NO HORSE POWER!

Just as sea level tracks have more than favorable wether, so do altitude tracks. It's a fact of life!

Stockracer I agree. Why is it so obvious but nothing has been done about it? Maybe something will change for '08.

The fact that the same car can go 1.10 under at sea level, travel to Vegas, run slower but qualify 1.30 under, doesn't make sense.

Why Do No One Bitch When The Air Is Good At Atco? I think it's stupid to give horsepower for good conditions,dont you all?the thing is they know they dont get horsepower at vegas and can let it all hang out..they wont do that att sealevel....AHFS!!!!!!

Nobody b!tches when the air is good at Atco because they are busy crying cause they have HP coming their way.

I'll b!tch about good air at Atco, Englishtown and Gainesville as we have gotten HP added because of runs that were -1.18. And we have never won a round of class at Indy.

If factors are good enough for records, they should be good enough for AHFS. If not, FIX'M!!

Happy now?

Amen Isaac! You just can't argue with common sense.

I'll bet what you are seeing is the real potential in a lot of these cars. In other words, less sandbagging. Like I said, some of these runs are for the history books as indexes are dropping and if GT absorbs SS class cars next year then this may be the last days of SS designated cars.
Really guys, they've had altitude corrected tracks for 30+ years. The factors were in place before 99% of you started racing. Can you get over it?
Now congratulations for all of the racers that aren't SAND-BAGGIN' IT AND RUNNING SO STRONG!!!
