Lol yep!! I’m in Longmont, 5,000 feet above sea level, so does that give me an advantage??I agree with your assessment here. I will, however, offer up one factor that Raz mentioned in passing that you left out (not intentionally I don't think; may have just passed it over as he did just mention it briefly but I do think it's the most relevant, as the other two, I would agree, aren't really factors beyond perhaps 1-2mph).
The elevation. Or rather, the lack thereof. I don't know what elevation Raz's airfield is at, but from the videos it did look like the airfield where ROSSA is hosted is very close to sea level, which might not make a huge difference in normal situations, but when you begin to approach 200mph, it's more like "driving a car through a cheese cake" to, once again, quote Jeremy Clarkson. To that end, I do think that driving at higher elevations would provide a significant advantage in speed running as the motors, obviously, don't require oxygen to function.
Anyone got a runway in Denver? If so, get crackin'!!
i mean 4800 feet…
