Woodland Park, CO - 9000 ft!
I just calculated the DA at my house - 19,672 ft based on 8,600 ft elevation.

C'mon up boys, and see what this does to your times!

Not much at all if you have a turbo :p Because the boost is regulated by a wastegate that opens once a certain pressure is achieved the system will "compensate" for the higher altitude. The only way it wouldn't be able to make up for it is if the turbo was COMPLETELY maxed out. But yeah for NA guys are SOL. At least you can change your pulley to compensate for the altitude.

For everyone that does not have access to pressure or humidity numbers---this is the site for you!

It takes the numbers from the track and there is a list of tracks on this website that will give you the DA for today, and also forecasted for the next couple of days.

Here it is: http://airdensityonline.com/tracks/?filter=222
