Default drumroll please

so i delivered me and my buddy with the 06 ss/sc cobalt went up to the local track for the first time tonight all in all a bit disapointing my best run was a 17.7 but i talked to a guy who drags all over the stats he ran a 13.23 today in his ls1 he said that the altitude here adds aprox 2 seconds to you time so 15.7 at sea level so not bad

Oh, and I thought that I'd let you know, I found NHRA ET/MPH conversion for all tracks. So here's what you're lookin' at...

http://www.nhra.com/tech_specs/altitude.html

So at sea level you would have run

ET-16.41

Still not too bad though, it all takes practice.
