Track altitude?

[Ryan Allen]

Just wondering what the precise altitude of the track at lfest is?
If anyone has the record, what was the DA last year?

The reason I ask is we live in a high elevation climate so part of the big thing for us would be to go down to a lower elevation and get good times...

Hi Ryan,

The track is next to Forbes Field, Topeka and the altitude is:

Field (Elevation) MSL 1079

 

[94L#150]

1079! Holy Crap! That's just 4721 feet lower than the track I race at. I better add some fuel to the tune. There is air in Topeka.

according to that its 850'. Thats what I used in calculating my DA from last year.

Hello all,

Sorry, but the drag race site's information is wrong. Here is the link to Forbes Field airport...next to the track:
