I have one question regarding using altitude adjusted runs. I'll use my car as an example here. My car runs SS/NA. At sea level my index is a 12.15 at Las Vegas my index is a 12.45. Let's say I run an 11.24 on the timeslip. This would be -1.21 under the index. At sea level this means I'd receive automatic horsepower. However, when you correct that run to sea level which is what is done when setting a record it only equates to a 10.96 and change. That wouldn't trigger automatic horsepower.
So what is NHRA going to actually use for a figure -1.21 altitude run or -1.19 under sea level index? If I was setting a record at the divisional it would be corrected to the 10.96 and that's what would show up as the record. Can any commitee members answer this?
