PCD: 2013-2014 Till We Break It Edition
i know what PAX is fool. like i said, comparing cars in the SAME CLASS is how it should be. PAX tries to compare drivers from different class using a handicap system. that's retarded. where else in professional motorsport do they use a handicap system. Lets see, we'll give HRT handicap PAX because they have a smaller budget than Redbull, that will make it more fair, lol. so if we use the PAX system, then Karun Chandhok is just as fast as Vettel. 
you build a car for a class and you compete with cars in that class, you don't compare you times against cars in other class. build a miata to run in DS and compete against Evo in ASP because you can use PAX handicap.

PAX is also used to combine cars into bump classes so that they minimize classes of one or two cars. That allows more competitors to be contingency eligible, because they can be over the min driver count.

50+ classes is retarded. Why have so many classes? Any other professional motorsports series that have that many classes? Like I said, you should compete in your own class, not across classes with a handicap system. Its like GT3 competing with LMP1 using pax.
If they have less classes to begin with, then they wouldn't have to worry about one or two people showing up per class.
I think the NASA classification system is the best out. It allows the flexibility of modifying your car the way you want with the budget you have. And you can have different platform in a same class depending on the modifications. The system is design to equalize the cars and showcase the drivers. I think it has some kinks but its the best system out for amateur racing.
I've been told that scca pdx (time trial) has a similar classification system as NASA. Not sure who coppied who but NASA hasn't been around long.

Dude, stick to the track stuff, you really don't understand autocross. They try and keep it open to as many as possible. There are autox's everywhere, if you compare quantity of autox events to track events it is not even close. Autox is king and thats why we have so many classes at Nationals and Pro championship. 1200 people competing at one event is totally cool. If you do not think so then thats your problem.
^ oh, I understand autox, been doing it for 8 years son. But I have moved on. If you fools are too skurd to do track, then that's your problem 
Everything in autox is try to accommodate one or two people. That's why there's so many classes.

I have been getting cables and all kinds of stuff for my basement there. Prices are good and cabling looks high quality. Not to the point of installing electronics yet to really try it out. Gonna order a hdmi switch soon for my upstairs tv. Only has one hdmi port and need to expand.
