Actual altitude is approx 5800ft. You can look forward to 8700 to 9200 density altitude! According to my logbook from the last few years. From racing in Tulsa, then Bandimere. I lost .6 to .7 ET. Drop the jets about 3 sizes, leave the timing and come up to the mountain and race!

From the guys that have raced there -- your car feels like its pulling an anchor -- way low on power due to way high air readings

What a great time
The race was first class, there were a lot of good cars there. I'm still mad at myself for getting too deep in the beams and overcompensating for a v-e-r-y slow light which put me on the trailer in the second round. The race finished shortly before a good cloud burst. We got totally soaked trying to find Jim Wangers who had more sense than we did and found dry ground. I wish I could've met him. I had some fuel issues early but my buddy with the purple T/A had a horrid day as his new fiberglass hood went airborne during practice and he had a rear slick pop a tube in the second round.

Did you guys notice the orange GTO that showed up to race later on that night? It had a 541 with tiger heads on it. Really wanted to see it run, but the rain killed that. To bad he did not show up for the Pontiac race.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
