As requested, here are the results for all events. This is based on your AVERAGE finishing position.

Assumptions:
1) You have run 5+ events.
2) If you have run <=6 events, they all count
3) If you have run 7 events, the worst one is dropped.
4) If you have run 8 events, the worst 2 are dropped.

This is NOT the same as the actual Top Gun/Dishman cup scoring.

A different cut of the top PAX performers of the season. This approach (not used to officially calculate anything) divides your PAX time by the best PAX time of the event and then averages your results for each of the events. In effect, it is a measure of the percentage you are above the best performance of each event (Carl's average of 1.012 says he is on average 1.2% slower than the fastest performance).

You guys are starting to make me wish that I hadn't run CS twice on street tires and BS twice on street tires this year! That's 3 classes in 3 cars on a total of 5 different tire combinations! But it's been fun

Or spent the entire season driving a car wih significant problems that were never resolved until perhaps this past weekend so it never drove the same twice. Now maybe I can finally start to learn it, unless we decide to change cars for next season that is.

I didn't hear about this -- what was wrong? The Celica or the Miata?

Gee, that seems familiar...

Jim

If you don't see your name there and think you should, I might be willing to trouble shoot my list. More than likely, you have chosen to register for events with multiple aliases.

For example, we have a Matt McGrain that rain several events, and his twin brother Matthew ran a few more. Individually, they didn't git er done, but together they did.

Scott

Oh, that's because that was his unmarried and married names, respectively.

Congrats Scott, and I liked the car out there this past weekend.

- dow

Ummm yeah.... I finally got that one solved myself

ROFL!!! Thanks Scott.

The Miata.

Hoosier didn't build SO5s in size I needed until ~ May so I had to run SO4s until then.
Ordered new custom DA shocks in Feb, never received them until Mid Jun. When changing shocks discovered one front shock on car was completely blown.
Spent 2 months trying to dial in the new shocks, bump is near impossible to adjust while shocks are on the car, so there was no adjusting at events.
Once shocks got near right I needed more front bar. Ordered RB 1 1/8, it was back ordered for 2 weeks, then another 2 weeks before I could put it on. Meanwhile tried setting my 1" bar to stiffer setting, something "clunked" when transitioning, decided the new position on bar must be causing contact somewhere so I ignored it. New bar went on Sun. before leaving for Peru for Labor day T&T. At T&T clunk got louder and car would not handle properly so I kept trying other shock adjustments to match heavier bar. Rob Carpenter drove it on Sun and said it was not right, we checked and found a cracked swaybar mount. We were going from Peru to a friend's in St. L. for a couple days before heading to Topeka for Nationals So I planned to have the crack welded there. On the drive I noticed the steering wheel was 1 1/2" off center which I blamed on the cracked mount. I found a circle track racer in our friend's development with a welder on the second day. When I pulled the splash shields down to get at the mount found that one side had a 1" crack, but the other side was completely collapsed and the mount broken into 4 pieces making any repairs impossible. We pulled the bar completely off to drive it to Topeka and home. Fortunately we had taken the Celica as well and thrown a set of tires in it on a whim since we were not planning on racing it there. I ended up driving the Celica in the PS Finale in the "one eventer's" PAX class, since I didn't have enough events in GS to qualify to run it in the open class. Drove Chile's HS Mini in the Championships (along with Donna and Alan McCrispin) that I had driven just for the first time at Peru.
Replaced the broken SB mounts with Mazdaspeed mounts Sat before Sanford event. Steering wheel was still offset so I drove it that way at Sanford, not knowing exactly where the alignment problem was.
Took it to Sturdevant's for an alignment before Laurinburg but when I got there found that one of the alignment targets had fallen off Donnie's Jeep the afternoon before and was not working. Howard reset the toe best he could with a tape measure, and that's the way I drove it this past weekend.

Hey Chuck, on your sway mount that wasn't completely destroyed, where was the crack? My car has clunked since I moved to the stiffest setting as well, but have not found any issues with the mounts in the many times I've looked. I haven't removed the fender liners for a while, so I should probably check over this winter sometime.

It was on the mounting surface the bushing clamp bolts to next to the bolt hole. It could be seen from the top on the side towards the center of the car, but only with a strong light. Some say the bar slides from side to side and/or the end links are too long, but I had no clunking this past weekend even with all the offsets. The HD mounts from Mazda aren't cheap, but are strong enough for a battleship.
