NHRA to continue review of altitude correction factors
08/26/2002
The NHRA Competition Committee is conducting an in-depth review of the affect that altitude-correction factors and atmospheric (mineshaft) conditions have on Comp Eliminator permanent index adjustments. Due to the complex nature of this undertaking, implementation of the previously announced index adjustment procedure has been postponed; indexes adjusted at altitude tracks will continue to be in effect.
In an effort to equalize the impact that altitude events have on Comp index adjustments, NHRA will adopt a new factoring system beginning Jan. 1, 2003. This system is similar to the current procedure in place to determine Super Stock and Stock adjustments. To determine permanent changes, the new system will use the sea-level index as the baseline factor -- altitude corrected indexes will not be used for permanent adjustments. During the event, however, all relevant factoring will remain in place and event CICs will be based off altitude corrected indexes.
