Correcting for DA really doesn't work. If somebody got a 10.x at 8k feet DA you can't assume they could row gears that fast at 9.x corrected or that the trans/clutch/etc would take that extra power one would get at sea level.
Sucks for those of us up so high, but whatever is on the slip is what actually happened. Correcting is bench racing.

^^^^what were you all shifting at and damn!
Bigs/little's, DS, rad support, nothing too crazy....It 462/417 on e85Full weight? How much power did it make?
Weld wheels 17/15, I never weighted the damn car but it was a base....That's pretty impressive. What wheels? And weight reduction?

Way to many people get carried away with DA now a days. Corrected times is ricer math. In an NA car, the difference within about 1500-2000DA really isn't as much as some of you think. If its +6000 or more then yea. But 2000' DA vs 100' DA really doesn't make that much of a difference.
As far as DA difference in a booster car, it definitely makes a good difference, and your gay ricer math calculators can't or don't show that. Car ran what it ran, if you want lower DA, race in the fall. Not in the summer.
I just don't get it, when I started racing 4 years ago, no one really talked about DA. Now that's all people mention. You can't post a slip without someone asking what the DA was, better yet someone looking it up for you.
I would run 13.4-13.6 @ 103-104mph in my mild bolt on 2v, in the summer til the end of October. I can only imagine DA was +2000ft in the summer and probably negative in October. Never made a difference. Maybe a 1-1.5mph at most.
