Does this calculation work? I figure it is like the correction done with dyno numbers. Let me know what you guys think.

It's based on the equation used for the NHRA correction factors. It's similar to dyno numbers, but is not SAE. Also, it doesn't work for s/c, turbo (Forced induction uses a different equation) or runs with nitrous. It does seem to work pretty well.
While I haven't had the pleasure of running at sea level, I've run at several different DA's (5500-8000)and my corrected time is pretty consistant, even if what I actually ran isnt. FYI, I loose anywhere from 1.1-1.5 seconds from elevation here.
