Even easier, call your closest airport to the track and ask them for the
AWOS/ASOS number. Then call it up whenever you are there, most of the time,
they give you a density altitude, saving you the math.

Subject: DML: LCD Barometric Pressure Instrument
|Does any DMLer know if anyone puts out a 'portable' LCD instrument
|that will read barometric pressure?
|
|I'd like to get a reading of the barometric pressure at the track. About
two
|weeks ago at Cayuga Dragway in Ontario (which is physically about 700-800'
|above sea level), the barometric pressure was such that running at the
|track was
|equivalent to running at 2,800' above sea level.
|
|With a barometric pressure reading, I can use a formula which will
approximate
|the height above sea level and use the appropriate correction factor.
|
|TIA.
