My local track is Bandimere Speedway, and it's at 5800 feet. You can usually drop about .9 seconds from your time to approximate a sea level run. From 4000', I would say half a second sounds reasonable.

Altitude correction factors can be found there. I'm not sure which set would actually be appropriate to use for your car though(either way, it would result in a very high 10/low 11 second run)
