Some projected 2008 season PAX handicap numbers for each class.
Lower number means bigger advantage. Stock classes have lower numbers.
Multiple your run time by the PAX number and that is your allowance for your class in comparing times run by other classes.

Event 9 results updated on post #15 in this thread.

Mike W. got 2nd overall in PAX (with class handicap applied) and lost out by only
0.023 seconds.

I got 6th overall on raw time and was edged out from 5th by 0.039 seconds.
I edged out 7th place by 0.047 seconds.

An eye blink is about 0.333 seconds so Mike lost out by 1/14th of an eye blink!

 

Pre-reg sign up for Dec 16 autocross is tomorrow online.
see SCCAhawaii.org

Might be rainy- maybe not.

It's the last autocross of 2007 then 2 more events till the season closes with runoffs in March and new season starts in April 2008.

 

Update to Post #15 done.

The results are in for event #10 this weekend and

Mike W. came in 2nd on PAX
Michael M. came in 8th on PAX

Both were in G stock and finished 1st and 2nd.

Robert and Sean finished 1 and 2 in DSP.

I could manage only 11th on PAX.

Next event Jan 20th.

Don't forget saturday Feb 16 is test and tune day.

Also Mike G. was out at autocross for the first time in his new VW R32 (2 weeks old) and ran in D Stock class.
3rd of 3, 96th of 113 overall, 85th on PAX (best novice PAX finish of the day- good job)

 

Test and tune coming up next Saturday all day and autocross the following day on Sunday.

Hope to see more MINIs there. This is the last event of the current season.

March 2 is run off championship and March 30 starts next season.

 

Last event of the season and Mike W and Mike M in G-Stock both did very well getting 1st and 6th overall PAX out of 101 drivers.

Rain marred the heat one track so a bunch of SM and SM2 drivers were slowed a full second or more.

The other 3 heats were more or less dry.

In SM class DakineMINI edged out Tyler S. (WRX Sti) for 1st in class and clinched 2nd in season points at the same time, going into the event 2nd and 3rd in points were separated by only one point after 11 events. Good work.

Now March 2nd is the runoffs in the morning (only 3 runs allowed), good luck to everyone. Afternoon is pre-reg for 10 funruns for $10 open to anyone, a good practice day.

 

Congrats to Mike W. for a great season. 1st in G stock class for Runoffs and on Points for the season and very high for PAX overall for the season- will have to wait until awards to find out officially but I think he's first.



Great job by all MINIs that ran this season, we were a bigger group this season than ever before.

Looking forward to next year which starts up on March 30th.

No more test and tune days in sight so just come by to drive and do fun runs at the end of each event- do another 5 runs for $5 ticket.
