It's been said repeatedly for years, in order to work properly and fairly, the AHFS system MUST correct ALL data to an SAE standard sea level day. Each Division must have its own regularly calibrated weather station, to be used at the track before and after every session, or the data collected is skewed and worthless.

If the average racer can afford a weather station, then NHRA can afford to buy 7 nice ones for their staff, keep them correctly calibrated, and have someone on the starting line record a weather reading before and after each session.
Good Luck with that - I suggested that 10 years ago when all of this started & nobody listened
