Not sure who would be interested but i was just looking around and for my own purposes decided to see the elevations at all the tracks in and around California.

here we go!

1. Pomona - 1000 ft (1/4 mile)
2. Palmdale (no longer there but what the hell) - 2710 ft (1/4 Mile)
3. Vegas - 1950 (1/4 Mile)
4. Bakersfield - 685 ft (1/4 Mile)
5. Fontana - 1121 ft (1/4 Mile)
6. Infineon - 37 ft (1/4 Mile)
7. Irwindale - 760 ft (1/8th Mile)
8. Drag City (banning) - 2100 Ft (1/4 Mile)
9. Sacramento - 100' (1/4 Mile)
10. Samoa - 10 ft (1/4 Mile)
11. Injokern - 2483 ft (i think its closed)
12. Barona - 1600 ft (1/8th Mile)

not sure if anyone cares but i figured i'd pass it along..

can't forget Qualcom.....1/8th mile in san diego.
don't know the elevation but its gotta be less than 500feet.

so whats the best one to go run at?? i hear that drag racing at a track that is at sea level will help you get way better times.. is this true..

oh. well i looked on a site that had a large list and it said sea level. but now i searched and it says 100' so 100' it is!!

DAMN!! anyone race at Samoa before in Eureka... elevation is 10 feet!!!

I see some other sites that say 30' too. I just know it's above seal level.

Fast track regardless, Infineon is too.

I can't wait to try out bakersfield

Bakersfield should be a good track to run at with the elevation at 685' !!!

thanks dom!! this should help everyone ... remember as you go up in elevation the air gets thinner (less dense) which in turn makes your car run richer , and of course the lower the elevation the better the air quality which will cause your vehicle to run a bit leaner. so example if you were to tune at my shop (appRox 1300ft) and then go to bakersfield (685) your car is gonna be a bit leaner compared to when it was on my dyno... up a couple psi fuel press and good to go. i always highly recc a wideband afr meter so you can actually see the afrs

also remember: weather plays A HUGE factor in altitude corrections ( ex: hot and dry equal higher elevations ( i have been at palmdale when the actually elevation+ the weather = 5500 ft above sea level!!!! crazy crazy

you never raced at bakersfield?

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by MrJParks &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">you never raced at bakersfield? </TD></TR></TABLE>??? me ??

sac is the fastest track we've run so far. bakersfield is usually .1-.2 tenths off with the same in mph, 1-2 off, fontana is usually .3 and 3mph down when we go, and palmdale we were usually shy of .5 and 4-5mph. but, so is the hole class.

yes i have..... its been about 7 years at least since i've run in a lot of these tracks..... never knew the elevations of them and thought it would be interesting and beneficial for others to know this info.. any more questions??

That's cool, wonder why no one never did this before

Sacramento's weather isn't that good, though. Too far inland, sitting in a valley.

But it's the only 1/4mile track I've ever raced at, so I can't really complain

consider yourself lucky!! its a fast track.. i wish we had one at or close to sea level down here!!

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by wHOAlly &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

not if u have baro correction</TD></TR></TABLE> tru but very few systems ... wait let me re-state there are systems that "boast" this feature, however only a few actually work well. i would still rec logging or at least glancing at a wideband about the middle of 3rd gear or so ...

those that tune at the track= 20% of people (consistant racers/winners)
those that guess=80% of "racers" (sometimes get lucky, most of the time grenade their motors and the come on HT and bash the shop/person that did the motor for them)

" i would rather spend $500.00 on a "proper tune" and run my car for months to come , rather than spend $500.00 on some JDM (gAy'dee-M) crap and get a "ecu chip/program, and lob a rod out the side of my block " how about you?

oh and YES i Have RUN bakersfieldALOT ... back in 2001 i went 11.01@124 mph allmotor crx making only 222hp 153 torque!!!!!

and then 10.61@ 127.6 mph allmotor crx in umm i think 2003?
