I guess I opened up a topic and a half here cause now you all got me thinkin. Im gonna commit sin yet again here and speak of Drag racing....in drag "racing" they prefer lower elevations....why if higher elevation was less dense air? I hear that lower elevation created more HP......any input here?

And another, if cool air is more dense yet slower.......why are lap times on cool days sometimes FASTER?

Is there a civilian speaking scientist in the house?
