Question Regional Elevation info needed

I've done a search on elevations for major areas in the USA with no luck. It's always nice to know the elevation of an area where people are posting E.T.'s. Can anyone point me to a resource to find elevations for any givin area in the US. Maybe people can post their elevation of their region, if they know, along with their E.T.'s. I know that the my area (Detroit)is about 660 feet above sealevel.

Thanks

There is also a search by state if you don't have the track name. It will return the names of all the tracks in that state.

I race at Bandimere Speedway...5830' feet above sea level. My best time so far is 15.139 @ 91.99mph. Temperature 86, Humidity 28, Barometric Pressure 23.34.

the wacky calculator says that is a 13.2@104 so I dont think the calculator is very accurate.

AtomHeart:

I don't think so. If your calculator uses standard correction factors, your 13 second time would be correct for sealevel factoring in all the variables i.e. bp and humidity, etc. Kinda helps make apple to apple comparisons. I'd post your corrected E.T. and be proud of it.
