Re: Great Bend Kansas track Elevation?
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

Re: Great Bend Kansas track Elevation?
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.

Re: Great Bend Kansas track Elevation?
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.

Re: Great Bend Kansas track Elevation?
Google Earth elevation has the starting line at 1,884, and the finish line at 1,888
And you wonder why it is slow. Atco is 99 at the starting line and 94 at the finish line, and that is why all the D1 cars go fast there. Pomona, starting line 1,034, finish line 1,015, D7, they really go fast there. Gainesville, starting line 168, finish line 169. And finally Atlanta, starting line right lane 687, left lane 689, 330' right 694, left 697, 1/8 mile right 693. left 695, 1,000' right and left 682, finish line right 686, left 687. All up hill to the 1/8 and then down hill. Yes, it is always slow there. Ron Ortiz U/SA of course Google is wrong
