In my opinion the reason sea level effects our cars so much, but NOT the NHRA guy's is the NHRA guy's have a BILLION horsepower, they can run what they want, where they want, for Top Fuel cars, the BIGGEST concern no matter where they go is how the CLUTCH is set-up, sometimes you'll hear them say.."We're gonna turn her up a notch.....well, it's not the motor that gets turned up.....it's the clutch.........

Am I way off???

The local track I used to race at (Byron, Illinois), Heck!...that track was downhill big time...I mean obviously, and NO MATTER WHAT, I always ran quicker at Great Lakes Dragway (Wisconsin) and that track is straight as a string???????????

HHHHHmmmmmmmmmmm.......great topic 88 workcar!!!!!!!!!!!
