Post Is there a way to figure out track elevation?...

I want to know if there is a place that has that info. The track owner is not to be trusted (he races as well and always gives out false info).

Just wondering.

Get an altimeter.

What track? Luskville Dragway is listed as 200 feet. Most tracks below 1000 feet don't do altitude correction factors.
