Talking New to Racing

I took my 99 Trans Am WS6 to LACR my best time was 13.751 @ 100 mph with a 2.1 60ft the website said that corrected it was a 13.338 @ 103 mph

Fairly good for a stock car?

LACR is 2,710 ft. above sea level.
To figure the altitude factor the formula is as follows:

ET: multiply your et (at LACR) by .97
MPH: multiply your mph (at LACR) by 1.03
This will give you the ET & MPH at sea level.

Congrats on your times. Very respectable for your first track experience. Decent time for your car, especially in that elevation. Get your 60ft time down some with practice and you will see some mid 13s for sure. Good luck!

Exceedingly good times for that track. LACR may have an altitude of 2700 ft., but it has a density altitude between 5-6K feet regularly.

Try to hit up California Speedway, as it is a better track, though it is more crowded. I'll most likely be going there on February 10. Maybe I can finally get that 12 sec. slip that keeps alluding me
