how much does altitude affect times?
how much does altitude affect times? I run at 3 different tracks. Spokane is 1909 feet and my home track of yakima is 980 feet and then portland is 29 feet. If I ran a 11.5 at 2000 feet what would it equal at 1000 feet?
Where can I read on this DA stuff in simple gear head language?

Here are the altitude correction factors NHRA uses, Spokane is 2300' elevation. http://www.nhra.com/competition/altitude.aspx
This is also a good site for density altitude http://www.dragtimes.com/da-density-...calculator.php
Also one of our friends car used to run 11.7x @ 114-115 in Spokane. He recently sold the car and the guy ran it at Woodburn. No changes at all except the track and it ran 11.33@119

There is huge differences in just changing DA's.
As mentioned, several .10's especially with swings of 1000, 2000, 3000'
I have a weather station but I still use the 2nd link from drag times, just to double check.
