If you live a good distance above sea level and your having a little trouble figuring out why your times are off compared to every one else on the board, give this site a try, it uses the NHRA guidlines for altitude conversion. Of course this is only if you really care about tenths of a second.

The site is right and wrong. Why? Well it's right because the air is less dense and thus less power so you run rich( that meaning more fuel then air, not with more money). So if you can just lean out the Air/Fuel mix and it should balance out and run better times. Or get forced induction and put more are into the engine. But its wrong by saying you are running faster. You are running what you are running, period. You don't just do a math problem and say you run faster, if you do your a dumbass, what every the timeslip says then thats what you run. So don't bullshit:bs: yourself and think you are running faster then you are.

those are just the nhra conversions, and i thank pillypimpinit for the website, you dont have to get all pissed off about it. everybody knows that this isnt the EXACT TIME you would get if you ran at this altitude and so on and so forth. just a wbesite bro...chilllll
