Race Days

When the Flea runs next, where it runs, and what the air is doing at Vernamfield and Jamwest right now. Density altitude decides what a 12-second car is worth on any given morning.

Track air right now

Live temperature, humidity and pressure at each track, turned into density altitude — the single number that tells you how much air the engine is actually breathing. Low DA means power. High DA means the car goes soft, especially at the top end where a naturally aspirated 2ZZ needs every bit of air it can get.

Reading the number. Jamaica sits at sea level but runs hot and humid, so density altitude here is usually far higher than the map suggests. Under about 2,000 ft is a good morning. Between 2,000 and 2,700 ft is a normal race day. Over 2,700 ft and the car will give time back, so judge a setup change against the air it ran in, not against your best ever pass.

The tracks

Vernamfield, Clarendon

The island's main quarter-mile venue, built on an old wartime airfield. Wide, flat, with a long shutdown area, and the surface that most Jamaican quarter-mile records are set on.

Jamwest, Westmoreland

Jamwest Motorsports Centre at Little London, on the west end. Coastal air usually means higher humidity, so the same car often reads a different density altitude here than in Clarendon on the same day.
