Folks,
Many of you travel all around EU to race. Many tracks are on different altitudes. Below is a table with correction factors that will provide you the time the car would have ran when the track was at sea level (like Drachten). E.g. Bitburg is at 4800ft above sea level.
I hope it is usefull.
NHRA Elevation Correction Factor
To convert your timeslip ET and MPH to sea level. Multiply
applicable factor times your ET or MPH.
(Example: You ran a 13.8 @ 100 MPH at 5000' elevation track.
The correction factors are .9367 and 1.0661 for 5000'. (13.8
* .9367) = 12.93 , (100 * 1.0661) = 106.61 MPH. So the correct
timeslip would be 12.93 @ 106.61 MPH.)
Altitude above Sea Level (Feet) Elapsed Time Factor (ET)
Trap Speed Factor (MPH)
1200 .9874 1.0129
1300 .9861 1.0143
1400 .9848 1.0157

I think I seen 1230ft on the tower bt it was really hard to read. But that still helped 2/10th in a 1/4.

I'll try to pack my GPS receiver ... should be pretty acurate ... also, maybe we can get a reading as to how much the track is sloped ...
