The elevation of the track is in the high 900's (980' maybe?). In April you could expect anywhere from 1000'-2500' DA's, depending on the heat.

Thanks Josh! As for IHRA, I can never find anything on that jacked up website anyway. Think some ten year old kid must have set that one up.

Mother of God! 2500 would be the best air my car has ever seen. 1000s....holy chit! I can't wait to go from 5000 ft of air to that! Maybe this hunk will crack the 11s! haha

The worst I have ever seen it at KCIR has been about 4800' of air, and it was about 103 degrees out and about 90% humidity. I don't think it will be that hot in April!

Man we are usually racing at 2500+ and 80%. You would think being on the water would be plus but it never works out

****, 4800 DA and we are happy around here. The highest DAs I have seen around here during the summer months hovered near 7000'. Right now, at 41* and 38% humid., we are at 2600 DA....and there's not a chance in hell of grabbing traction, even on a fully prepped track. My best passes on both N/A and N20 were made at about 4300 DA, so getting under 2500 would be fan-******-tastic!
