Question SA Raceway vs. Baytown

What have you guys seen in difference in track results for the two mentioned? I have heard that at Baytown it is closer to sea level and has more dense air than san antonio. I'm wondering if that plus the temp. of the outside air plays a small/med./or large difference in someones track times. Let me know what you think about it. Post time differences if applicable

I race at both track alot. I will run slower at SAR. My 60fts are 1.35 to 1.38 at HRP and 1.38 to 1.42 at SAR. Say I run 10.33 at HRP it will be a 10.38 at SAR.

I've noticed about a .10 of a second difference between the two tracks with HRP being a little faster and bites harder as well .

I doubt that , they have always checked our cars . I got kicked off for running 12.00 in a convertable Mustang one day because they have to have a cage @ 11.99's .

They crack the whip on my *** . I have to install longer studs in the rear with open lug nuts , have enough cage and new belts inside the car . And if my car even thinks about dripping a drop of anything on the track , they will tell me to shut it off .
