Texas Region SCCA '04 event #1 - Pennington Field, 3/21

[altiain]

Sweet - I took 9th out of 199 in the overall PAX. The funny thing is, I was never quite happy with the way the car was set up.

For those of you in Tire class, I have more pictures of your cars! If you shoot me a PM with your e-mail address I'll send you every picture I have with you car in it! :afro:

But make sure you are ready for a big ash e-mail, right onething

Not only did it shut down my email until I downloaded the 6 MEG files, but POS may be hearing from my ISP's lawyers :P

Can someone explain the m after the place & T for trophy slots on the results posting?

I've only been doing this for a couple of years . . .

So how do the numbers work? The time for three runs and then that last number means what?

[altiain]

The last number is the best run of your three, which will also be the run time highlighted in bold out of the three run times.

So how do the numbers work? The time for three runs and then that last number means what?

Since you run tire class the last number is your best out of the 3, with the PAX factor factored for your car class on that best run.

We can use onethings numbers an example :

Position # Driver Car Model Runs: 1-3 Total
5Tm tcs 16 :pig: 01 Mazda Miata 40.380 40.273 40.348 32.661

So his best run was 40.273 times a CS pax of .811 give you a 32.661 time.

So PAX being a sort of handicap?


Damn... I should have run in novice class....

[POS Racing]

So PAX being a sort of handicap?

Yea is a factor used to level the playing field, so you can compete against like a Z06's and still be competitive versus just using raw times.

I'm guessing member

Don't think so...I got an m, but I'm not a member. 8th place out of 20? .....not bad, not good.

[Kestrel]

Could the "m" mean that you've pre-paid the season? I have no idea why that would be an "m", but if it's not "member"...

Did I count right? Were there 18 Miata Pilots out there (6CS, 1ES, 2DSP, 5T, 4N)? Awesome baaabyyy!!
