Maybe this thread needs to be split into two.
I think a 140 treadwear rating is the usual cutoff.

Re: Informal Awards Lunch and the New Index System
I like the new system. A few questions:
Where is the line drawn between aggressive street tires and R-comps?
Is HP for crank or wheel?

How about...
[(Fair Market Value * req'd octane) / (Gas Mileage * tire treadwear rating)] * Raw Time
I'm pretty sure this is how the BCS works. Can someone run some sample calcs?

Re: INDEX SYSTEM
This board is pretty quiet when nobody is racing.
Organizers, have you put any more thought into what kind of system to use for the 2008 season?

Re: 2008 Event Schedule?
Seems like everyone is hibernating over the winter. The first event was in late march last year, I would guess something will be up by February, but I'm no organizer. Keep checking the site.

Yes, I'm a packrat. I cleaned out my old room at my parents house and came across stacks of old R&Ts that I could not bring myself to throw out. I figured some gearhead may get a kick out of such classics as "Dodge's New Muscle Car - the Viper!" and "Mazda's Roadster Revolution - ...

Re: Winning the CDC Points Championship
Moran bros. Great drivers, great car.
I don't think anyone is saying that sandbagging is cheating. It's manipulating the system. I think that the spirit of the index system would be upheld if the possibility of sandbagging were eliminated for the 2008 season.

Off of my co-workers Miata. He asked me to help sell them.
The tires have only 2 runs on them (road course). Still at least 85% tread left.
I will post pics once I get them. PM me for interest.

I set up a spreadsheet to compare base times vs. CDC index times vs. PAX times for those who provided PAX numbers earlier for the 10/20 Autocross.

I'm curious to see how the PAX affects the results compared to the index method.

Re: INDEX SYSTEM
Perhaps we should make it dependent on the driver to notify timing and provide an Index? it really is not our job as organizers to figure out what you are driving and what your index is right? We're getting warmer. Let's say we go with a simplified PAX method. All PAX modifiers are less than 1.0. A...

There are a lot of comments here that make a lot of sense. But we need to keep this simple. I want to mention that Engine Management is the first mod on a lot of WRXs. Bumping an otherwise stock WRX into a "SuperModified" class would seem unfair. So the classing system may not be as easy o...
