Which is why the jersey guys who run at englishtown and ATCO (both really close to sea level tracks) run awesome times. -- Dave '02 M6 WS6 Posted By: blck89rs On: 03-31-2006 @ 15:20:53 Reply | Top | Edit i think our tracks( jersey ppl) are between 0-100 feet if that elevation -- You can make any car fast with money but you cant make any car look or sound like it will tear your heart out, eat it and then bang your significant other.

However, I was more talking about the mph differences between the two tracks. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like Atco always MPH's way better out of the two. Someone from the area would know better though. -- Red 2002 Camaro Z28 Couple Mods Posted By: blck89rs On: 04-08-2006 @ 10:50:58 Reply | Top | Edit well if i can get my car back togther soon enough ill visit both and tell you -- You can make any car fast with money but you cant make any car look or sound like it will tear your heart out, eat it and then bang your significant other.

I've heard plenty stories about the track. Has anyone ever questioned the creditbility of the clocks. I mean if you think about it, if someones car always runs quicker at your track why wouldn't they wanna go there. Just add a couple mph on top of every run and that makes everyone like the track more. Idk, just a little idea i thought about, not saying it's fact. -- 94z28 13.0@109 (still tweaking) best 60ft:2.22

One of these days I will buy a 4th gen and NOT run the miles up on it  Like they say, 3rd time's a charm.
Posted By: RoAdRaGe912 On: 04-10-2006 @ 16:50:31 Reply | Top | Edit i've always wondered if it was a true 1320' because i hear of so many ridiculous times there. I run at one of the best tracks in the entire country, so i'm used to seeing and having better times than most other people, but there are definitely a lot of freakish times from Atco. they could be real, and they might not be.
i know my house is 26' above sea level but i wasn't sure on the track which is 6.5 miles away. They had an event last weekend and on the tv it was listed at 10' above sea level. --  Posted By: LT1guy94 On: 04-17-2006 @ 18:17:46 Reply | Top | Edit i run at 5280 feet above sea level and run 14.6 or like 13.4 for you guys at sea level. so it affects it a lot. i always see you guys running faster than me and have the same mods. but i guess thats not bad for this high -- 96 Trans Am WS6 160 degree thermostat and k&n filter 3" cutout, hooker LT's, ORY Pipe, OBD1 conversion. over the valve cover wires.

I'm not trying to start a flame war but all the quickest times i've seen out of fbody's have been from atco.

Which would be 200 more pounds then your weight when you ran the car. What's confusing is that he's only trapping at 112. et was 12.0.
