A post for all you racers!

i found a good link from the nhra that provides standard accepted conversion for et and mph times for altitude..

by the way calgary is at 3,740 feet!!!

that'll learn em good!

and just curious as to what everybody whos been to race city has pulled and in what kind of car? so please post your best!

not my car , but sum1 i know ran 13.8 in a Z32 TT at calgary...this was a while ago tho, maybe faster now:dunno:

[mx73someday]

My best time: 87 Cressida, 6M-GE, W58, F303 diff, 1330kg (2930 lbs):

60': 2.435
330: 6.931
1/8: 10.696 @ 65.06mph
1000: 13.932
1/4: 16.653 @ 82.52mph

NHRA corrected: 15.967s @ 86.12mph

So now I can say that I technically drive a 15 sec car :)

Is that accurate? i thought it was around 2000.

This is very accurate!!!

so what your sayin is that my16.59 run is actually a 15.6 huh? Thats pretty cool. I'd still prefer to run that time in Calgary

It's not very accurate. It does not take into account temperature, pressure, and to a lesser extent, humidity. I've seen Calgary's density altitude differ by as much as 2000ft. But it works for a general idea. Here is the official NHRA conversion table where Calgary and the correct conversion factors are listed for race city. We are in Div 6.
