Great Bend Kansas track Elevation?

Like it says. LOL
Also, if it has corrected indexes, are they posted anywhere? I can't seem to find anything. Sorry, I 'm old. :-(
Thanks!

Ed; Go to NHRARacer.com and go the left side bar under 'tech' and click on indexes and records, then altitude correction factors. They hide this pretty well. And yes it's at 1900' and has an correction factor.

hey, if you'de going and don't mind, take some pics of the place..been 30 years since i've been there...love to see it again

Ed Wright · 05-02-2012, 09:35 AM

Tom, I'll bet it hasn't changed. I'll try to remember to take some. It's different, like going back in time. At least we don't have to park in mud.

Correction factor for ET: 1.0149 to altitude, .9853 to sea level. Your corrected index would be 11.16

Ed Wright · 05-02-2012, 03:51 PM

Thanks Mike. I don't remember that place being any slower than Tulsa, but it was cool last year. Doesn't look like it will be as fast this weekend.

Mike Voth · 05-02-2012, 04:23 PM

No, the track is never particularly fast. They resurfaced the starting line this year. That has me a little concerned. Have a safe trip. We'll see ya there.

The starting line is actually at 1882 and the track runs 4.4 feet uphill.
