Default track altitude calculation.

if some runs for example at a track that has an altitude of 5600ft and then he ran at a track of lets say 2000ft, how could you calculate how much faster he would run at the lower altitude track?

buy going and finding out yourself. cause every car is different. it depends on hp,weight,ect. also of course it depends on if your n/a or turbo. for example, i live in utah, the track here is 4424ft above sea. i have a eg hatch/b18c1w/75shot(250whp) my best run up here is 13.7@99 (1.91 60') n/a 15.1@90 (2.04 60')
at sacremento raceway i ran a 12.9@107 (1.95 60') n/a 14.4@96 (2.20 60')
but if i had a turbo and ran 13.7 up here id probably be around 13.4@sea level
