You're retarded. j/k. I've been checking 2-3 times a day, and it hasn't been posted. They're usually quick with that.

 

I've been checking too... curious to see how the PAX turned out, I was top 5 at one point. Not that I've ever followed PAX before.

 

subtle "check out my awesome tan" post

 

What does my awesome tan have to do with it?

No lines, btw.

 

It's probably slow because some of the T&S guys were in Toledo.

 

I briefly touched on this with TimR but I think the T classes are a little too much in Philly Region, his logic was he can't compete with Shoeberg, but how about just competeting for 3rd place? Hell I can't compete with them either or even the 135i in ASP on Hoosiers but I still ran normal ASP that day.

And when I saw the PAX this weekend I was like really? If I just choose TASP I would of been PAX'd higher than other entries in their proper class? I just think giving T-SP/SM PAX handicap beyond the normal SP/SM modifiers is crazy and unfair to people who run there proper class regardless of total setup. And beyond Novice class I think regions should only promote national classes and not worry about giving out trophies to everyone.

 

We have the class in Philly because the competitiors asked for it, and the region responded. Not everyone have the funds to have a fully prepped car for certain classes, but they want to be competitive too. No one wants to put in time and effort for 2nd or 3rd, or worst. And if there's a class that allows it, then thats naturally what people will do.

To loosely quote Senna, " And the main motivation to all of us is to compete for victory, it's not to come 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th."

 

^I was thinking of Senna when I wrote my reply.

Nguyen Nguyen Racing FTN!

 

I know someone who's gonna be competing for 3rd place this weekend.

 

What is Thai and you running E class this weekend? Either way that's how I roll, I don't run to win things all the time but to get better over time. If I lose and pull a 1:19 that is almost 3 secs better than last so to me I still win.

 

If Thai, Marc and Chu are running enthusiast class I guess Nelson is competing for fifth.

 

The pax differential is to account for the tires. You would be pax'd higher in the TASP class, because you are closer to "full" TASP prep than you are ASP. PAX numbers are designed to compare top cars in each class on a level playing field. I'm not saying the T modifier is correct, because it is really a guestimate due to lack of data on fully prepped cars for each class, but the fact there is one makes sense.

 

Yeah, well enjoy it while it last. 2013 will be a better season that is for sure.
