DML : Dragstrip Altitudes, Got a Question

My testing of my Dakota this past summer has yielded a few questions, just
how much does the altitude of a dragstrip have an effect on the way a car or
truck will actually perform?
Say given that the weather and track conditions of 2 different tracks were
the same, but the track with a altitude closer to sea level would enable
said car or truck to ET better due to better air quality.
Is there a correction factor that would give some idea
how a car or truck would perform at a lower sea level?...........or am I
just nut's thinking the Dakota
would run better a lower level track?
Keystone has altitude of 1500ft above sea level, I'm betting the Dakota
would ET better at a track with a level of around 500-800 ft.
