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.
They would not have the weather stations unless someone GAVE them to NHRA and then its to much work for them to use and keep track of data. Can you just see Rick Stewart trying to use one at a National event.....LOL. He dosent like the sporstman racers anyway. They just "MUCK" up "HIS" starting line.
