Density Altitude (DA)
I found a DA caluclator at:
http://rshelq.home.sprynet.com/calc_da.htm
I need to know where I can find the altitude and the dew point so I can calculate the DA. Anyone know of a website with that info. I tried weather.com but they didn't have it.

2400 flat out sucks.Thats a very high DA. Most people wont even post times they ran in that high of a #. Expect the car to be very slow compared to a 0 DA or any negative DA.

13.8@104 not bad for being a mile high <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
