Hour by hour
Hours are track time (CST). Track temperature is an estimate. DA is density altitude.
The racer numbers
Computed from the forecast air temperature, dew point and station pressure (NWS formulas; the correction factor by SAE J1349 and the older 60 °F STD standard). Track temperature is estimated from sun, wind and the surface; it is not a sensor reading. How these are figured.
