can someone explain me this...

hi there...after some track times, im dont understand this:
how may this info affect the time.
1. Altitude
2. Barometer
3. Dewpoint
4. Humidity

I posted a thread before...with my times..and i saw in my area(Monterrey, Mexico, im for month vacation) All the cars i saw in the track made like 1 second more if i compare with my State(tx) track times. Same cars, good drivers too...so i dont get it.

i can do altitude, cars make their best horsepower when the air is dense. so at higher altitudes their is less air hence less air available to make horsepower. this is why your car will seem faster when it is cold outside because cold air is denser

Im very conffused...i saw some maxima.org members who did. 15´s with 84, 85 mph. My ran was 16.03@89???? how can i explain my self that...high mph but less track time???

The SIR made here 16.65 seconds...and SE-R with cai made 15.89. So i dont know why the times are very high.
