First time at track
You would have to correct your mph to 0 density altitude first id think, my car traps anywhere from 115-118 depending on the heat and humidity at our track that already has a baseline of 1375ft. My best time of 11.79@117.5 was at about 1900 DA with a 0 DA corrected time of about 11.53@120.2mph so i would use that MPH.

Ok ive never calculated DA before and am not sure if i did it right just now but i came up with 1900 DA as well. So does that mean if my trap speed was 118 then at 0 DA it's 121?

Thanks scotty! Basically the track had no air compressor or gauge so I just left tires at 30 psi...that combined with a long drive home I said screw it lol. Prep was horrible, no score board, only let us run for 2 hrs before bringing on bracket racers.. so we just went home lol

Thanks! I think might actually go again here soon. I know the car has a lot more in it. I'm sure I would've hit high 11's with a 1.8-1.9 60ft, which should be no problem at all with these tires once I air them down. Plus I want to do a nitrous pass as well
Yeah that should be about right. Dragtimes.com has a DA calculator to give you time and mph corrections
