Default sticky material in drag section

i just found this DA calculator. it knows all of the track elevations in canada and the US and keeps a weather history. it does everything for you no calculating necessary. after it figures out your DA it will correct your times if you input your 1/4 data. pretty cool if you ask me!

I made it a sticky in the General Truck racing and Discussion forum. That section rarely is posted in and might be a good place to put these helpful calculators.

i tested it against a few of my calculations in the past and it was very close...usually + or - 15 which is not a big deal to me.

You've obviously never been to my track up here in WY at 4800' ran, then driven down to some place like Phoenix at 1200', done nothing to the truck but it runs about a half second faster just because of the elevation difference.


There is no air up hear!!
