I should also add that Carl and Mary put on a clinic over the weekend. Nice driving!

For what it's worth, 2 cars occupy 40% of the top 10 PAX results. One of them has a fair bit of horsepower, one of them doesn't. That seems to indicate this was a pretty fair course.

damn it I should have run TIR, I would have trophied (beat Chris Suich's pax time by .015 pax seconds!). No more HS for me anymore, too bad I wasted the time cutting out magnetic signage for HS. . .

You run in your regular class and push harder. It will make you faster than just hiding in street tire class. That is what I did last season with my miata but I have never been one to back down from a challenge. Plus you get a really good feeling when you are keeping up with race tired cars and you are on street tires. 8)

Yea, but if you beat her, it means something as she is a REALLY good driver (#3 driver at the last event!). Beating someone in TIR/NOV2... meh... I personally prefer to shoot high and come up short rather than pick off low hanging fruit. If you already have someone REALLY good running in your class, that is a GREAT way to get faster quicker than running in a class where you are 'dominating'.

For Example:
Highest 'Indexed' TIR driver -- 37th (realizing that that indexing is totally unfair... but hey, you guys run it).
Highest 'Indexed' HS Driver -- 3rd.

That is just my input, and after giving that....

:Note to self - Run 'Pro' class after posting this: ;)

Carl's times are HS times so

Highest "Indexed" HS Driver -- 1st :)

It's sooo true. Eventually you will find yourself reeling them in timewise. You'd be surprised what you can do with a car when you put a little pressure on yourself to not hit cones, or not lift, etc...

Oh.. that is correct. Sorry, I was just posting 'the mortals' running in the 'stock' class, and not the 'Pro' class.

PAX isn't an *exact* measurement, but I think it is a good tool. If you are in the Top 20, you are bookin'. Sometimes it is 'with' you, sometimes against. When it isnt -- hack it up! :D

as a member of the low hanging fruit class (sorry i missed the event but Watkins Glen was way too cool) i must say "bite me."

Brice come on over to TIR. it is a low cost way to autoX. (no R tires)

TIR has more entrants than HS, thus more varied competition.

"veterans" will sometimes interlope into TIR

true what Ryan said, but a trophy now and again can't hurt the confidence factor. not that i would know, but i digress.

and lastly, does anyone remember which class the finalists in the bracket race were from? 8)
