Racing at 623ft I ran a 7.81 at 3812ft I ran a 7.92, identical set ups, as close to identical shift strategy, and staging. Weather was colder at higher elevation by 8 degrees and humidity was almost identical. There is a direct correlation of FTASL to ET. So my point is I’d would be impressed if they ran the same time at a track with a substantial elevation change

I wouldn't be any more impressed. I hear they sell air density in a bottle now.

I'd be impressed if people from the mountain west would quit acting like the rest of the country is at sea level.

May 4, 2016. Rocky Mountain Raceways - West Valley City, UT USA. Track Elevation: 4226 feet. 8.503 with ~500hp less power. Definitely not a direct comparison, but interpolation is possible.

An efficient setup is an efficient setup in any elevation....

My truck is much slower, but in my experience with the same set-up during a season racing at RMR, Bandimere, Woodburn (true sea level), and Firebird the ET was very close. This was back when running fuel only and 90-100 psi of boost. The MPH was higher at the high elevation tracks (less air to push a brick through) but the ET was similar when the 60" was comparable. I can see spooling affecting 60' at the high D/A tracks which will affect ET.
I have also raced a supercharged gas car and N/A gas cars at a few of these same tracks and picked up .3-.4 between 5k D/A and 1k D/A tracks. My opinion is the high boost makes up for the thin air if the set-up is working well. Just my .02 of experience.

Don't you go interpolating anything around here, mister. We are good folks and don't take kindly to such behavior.

I raced at high elevation in Bandimere once... Once.....
B Fire - YouTube
I drove it there from Louisiana. Ended up having an uppipe leak that the elevation exposed and I couldn't get my turbo to spool so was using the spool-in-a-bottle. Actually ended up getting 2nd in my class and drove it all the way home.
Coming from one of the flattest areas in the US and being under sea level, I could definitely feel a big difference driving over there vs at home.
Good times.
