It actually can be a good bit worse than that. You could take a 13.0 car at sea level and run 14.5 somewhere in Colorado.

:eek:

Good thing we're out here on the east coast where the elevation is relatively low. :tup:

I believe in theory it's a sliding scale that starts at .12 sec at sea level to 1000. At tleast that's what the online calculators add when you bump it by a 1000 ft.

Here's an example.... Calculate ET with HP Correction for 1/8th ET- Wallace Racing

Edit: the 1/4 mile calcualter adds closer to .16, I was looking at 1/8 mile times

Ah the NRV! Nice. I used to live out in Radford.

I think the elevation there is right around 2,000 feet so you're probably looking at a high 8 second pass if you can hook up.

you must have went to RU?

i dont know if this is bad or not for our car but it was about 38 degrees outside and i had a full tank of gas and my buddy was riding with me and i ran a 9.4. the car wouldnt hook up at all.

m4a1mustang 03-25-2011 09:22 PM

What were your 60' times? And your trap speed? The summer tires aren't going to have any grip at those temperatures until you can get them warmed up after a number of passes. 9.4 is pretty slow for the 370 but given the circumstances it probably was all due to your lack of traction.

yeah it definately had to do with the traction and added weight. my 60 ft was like 2.8 sec lol. i put it away after about three runs, i was making the car look bad! haha maybe next week the temp will be up in the 70's or 80's again. weather here has been up and down lately. my speed was about 78 mph

brado 03-25-2011 09:59 PM

i think every 100lbs adds a tenth to your time doesnt it?

m4a1mustang 03-25-2011 10:03 PM

Yeah, if you ran 2.8 60's you should just ignore those runs all together.

Yeah, every 100lbs adds at least a tenth to your 1/4 time.

brado 03-25-2011 10:18 PM

ok haha thats what i was thinking. ill wait till it gets warm to see what itll run.
