3% HP loss for every 1,000 feet of elevation....add in heat, wind and other factors and you have a challenge.

Actually Bonneville is harder IMHO then a drag race because its harder to lock up the tires at speed...Just ask Al, Mike Cook, the Pope or the Swedes who all ran Bonneville. It looks allot easier then it really is. Half the time the salt is bad so its a labor of love.

And its at fairly high altitude which is often a shock for some casual competitors.... until the engine leans out at high rpm/high load and they get to inspect their pistons and crank without disassembly.... FWIW- J Deryke
