Hi Tom,

I was just looking at the NHRA Altitude Correction Factors and I didn't see Kearney NE as an altitude track????

Is there a secret list of ALL altitude tracks??

Bob,

It took a couple of years to get Pierre's altitude in too. But if you look for the airport elevation at Kearney, it'll show 2130'. The track is the old airport runway.

Hi Jerry,

Do you know if NHRA has a complete list of all altitude-factored tracks and corrections and if so how can I retrieve this information?

Thanx,
Bob

Bob,

No I don't know of any other listing other than what's on NHRA's website. I used to have a little fold out card that the people at Douglas put together that I thought showed more tracks, but that was back when they factored at 1300 feet. I do know that there used to be more tracks listed for Division 6 like Calgary, Eagle & Pocatello, but maybe they're no longer NHRA tracks. Or, maybe they just need to update their list.
