Originally posted by ejj I was flipping today and caught the start of ESPN2's broadcast of the NHRA event there...they said etown was 400ish feet below sea level.
No wonder everyone is so fast there. I need a track like that.
Englishtown is at an elevation of 86ft MSL. Still sweet as hell but 400 feet below sea level is like the Dead Sea lol. Well not really but 400ft below sea level is really low. The lowest elevation in the USA is Death Valley it's like 280ft below MSL.

That's right. It's the air density. So they calculate barometric pressure and temp in order to figure air density.
Andy, you have a couple places close to you that are equally as good as NJ. They are called, Houston, Sacramento, San Francisco, and Seattle. HAHA.... you gotta drive 10 hours just to get 14.70's. Is it worth it to you?
