Ok. If you want to compare drivers to drivers, for fun, select a few people in different cars (fwd, rwd, awd) and get the three different drivers to compete in each car, combine all best times (your best in each car) and use that. Driver vs driver vs driver.



We did this last year in an event in Moncton where only 4 people showed up. We used a civic Si /CTS-V/STi and R32 Golf. It was the most fun any of us had ever experienced at a Slalom.

I would image that was a blast Luc, talk about different set ups!!

Always wanted to try something like that but with the "TOP" local drivers (like Paul M and Brian G and ME of course 8O ) in each of their respective vehicles...just for statistics comparison.

Might be a bit of a challenge to implement directly into the timing systems vs straight PAX, but I like it

I have no idea what timing systems you guys use, so this may be waaay out in left field -- forgive me if that's the case.

I build/sell wireless timing systems, and part of that package is timing/scoring software that I give away for free. It will score groups, with PAX used to order drivers within their group -- the groups are arbitrary and can be made to match your club's needs. Here is an example score file from one of our events: http://members.shaw.ca/murray.autocross ... scores.txt

The software accepts input from standard Race America/Axware hardware (Axxxxxx for start time, Bxxxxxx for stop time). Download it, unzip into c:\mjtiming, run it and see if it suits:
http://members.shaw.ca/MJ-Timing/mjtimi ... .09.23.zip

Anyway, feel free to use it if it meets your needs.

So for 2014 they're adding 9 (?) classes by making the new "Street" prep-level and changing the old "Stock" prep-level to "Street-R" (which permits slicks). Then in 2015 the Street-R prep-level will disappear (other than 1 class, "Super Street-R", for high-horsepower stock vehicles).

Long story short, I'll add Street-R to the Race Tire prep-level and Street to the Street Tire prep-level.
