Mile High 1/4 mile times (cough, no air, wheez)

Thought I'd go to Bandimere Speedway over the weekend to see how my car compares to those of you on the East and West Coasts. Well, the best time I could muster was 16.005 at 87.41mph. I was fairly consistant, with a 16.069, 16.061 and 16.131. But, whoa, no air really killed my times compated you the high 14's and low 15'2 you all are posting. I have some mods, so I figured at least mid 15's. Oh, well, time for more mods and a trip to the coast.

In addition, there was also a '03 350Z running. The best he could pull was a 15.66. I didn't get his MPH.

I forget there is a site that does a re-calculation of the times as if you were at sea level as long as you know the air temp, pressure and feet above sea level.

A friend of mine raced out a Bandimere a couple of weeks ago and pulled a 13.7@105 in his Talon. This adjusts to a 12.88@110. Being that this was his first time racing and he was having problems launching and shifting, he did OK, but could have done better than his 2.203 60'

Here's an adjustment table to calculate your times:

Just calculated my times to sea level. Adjusted 1/4 mile time 14.846 at 93.92 mph. That makes me feel a little better, but I would love to have that seat of the pants power you guys are all feeling everyday.
