I have the rule book printed out, indexed with stickies, PAX index and this table shown below. All ready for Weds.

Are you sure on my CSP rating? I believe I am D not C like Brad. But the Pulley change shoves me into SM. Interesting how changing boost is allowed in SP but changing the pulley moves on into SM.
Of course I could be completely wrong.

Thanks Richard. Corrected.

The 3 series is a 325i

Well, looking at the classes and the PAX numbers i have lost already this year.
PAX run time adjusted
M3 0.871 57.41 50
Richard 0.87 57.47 50
STI 0.865 57.80 50
Covette 0.854 58.55 50
lotus 0.854 58.55 50
Brad 0.83 60.24 50

So for me to beat Brad i would have to run almost 3 secs faster on a 60sec lap.
I will run for fun and just compare times prior to the adjustments. That is a problem with the way I have done the mods on my car.

^^ Me too. Although I do not understand your chart, I'll be comparing the raw times. Unless the PAX system let s me win.


Never mind, I get the chart now.

thats the trouble for many people. 1 mod moves the car into the next class, as most of us decide the mods on other choices and not to meet some class.

In the end, the classing is just a trial run for a few events to see if it makes things better or worse. depending on the results, will dictate if the classing will be continued to be done.

i can see it being hard to write out raw times and PAX times during the event. The PAX indexing may have to wait until after the event.

The smaller the index number, the better, as it will result in a shorter time and shorter times win.
