Drag strip again , third time this season

Density altitude at 4150 ft

Ran best 13.86 at 101mph 2.14 60ft , 1/8 at 81.5mph and 9sec

Can't get better than 13.8 , it's probably my 60 ft time that's
Slowing things down, I launched at 1200 rpm on last run and still
Kinda bogged down, was going to try higher but track closed

Not too bad I guess if I figure in correction for the density altitude

Corrected would be at 13.35 at 105mph

4150 is very high. Where did you get that correction? At that altitude your time adjustment is 5% and 1.05 for MPH so you are running an adjusted which would be 13.11 at 106.5 mph.

actual elevation at the track is 1440ft, dew point 61, temp 84, pressure 29 so with factors "Density Altitude" comes out to be 4600 ft, http://wahiduddin.net/calc/calc_da.htm this is what most ppl who run there agreed on so this is aprox around 4 to 5 tenths slower compared to at see level
