2006 PAX factors
Well, it's almost December of 05, so why not discuss the release of the 2006 PAX factors...Here's the buzz, and a good thread on NASIOC Looks like I'll end up sticking with SM, no real reason to run BSP as far as I can tell, that way I can run the brake brace and not worry.
Comments? Class-new pax- change from last year SS 0.84 0.003 AS 0.831 0.003 BS 0.822 0.001 CS 0.813 0.003 DS 0.798 0.002 ES 0.806 0 FS 0.805 0 GS 0.795 0.013 HS 0.78 0.003 ASP 0.852 0.002 BSP 0.843 0.004 CSP 0.838 0 DSP 0.826 0.004 ESP 0.828 0.002 FSP 0.814 0.003 STS 0.797 -0.002 STS2 0.802 -0.001 STX 0.803 0.001 STU 0.82 0.002 SM 0.845 0.003 SM2 0.854 0.002 |
Wow, SM has slowly been getting harder year by year
|
The thing to note... just about every class gained something... especially the GS army... so much for Mini domination!
|
God dammit. :mad: If I had gotten a non-Torsen LSD Miata, I could run STS2 instead of TCSP.
At least I'm not in GS. :lol: |
I just realised that the STi will be in BSP this year ... and BSP and SM are almost identical. How is that a good idea?
|
Agreed...An SM car has the potential to be a lot faster than a BSP car, but as far as the STi goes, realistically, the BSP car and SM car should run fairly close in times.
Like I said, there are a few mods I want to run, like the brake brace, and the difference in PAX is not enough to make me run without it. |
I thought you were going to do an FPGreen this year as well?

I feel like I've really improved over the last year with the high-speed stuff (RFR and SOlo trials), but I have a long way to go at Solo2. The turbo will definately help with trials, I know that going in, but for Solo 2, I don't think it's needed right now. Besides, I want to see you're new setup first :P |
2006, any luck on a solo 2 schedule?

No, it will not be compete until we here back from other regions, as there are scheduling conflicts we need to avoid. Scott and I are working on the SCCA schedule comittee, so we'll let everyone know as soon a possible. |
Thanks for the information.

Thanks for that info Debbie. John Evans probably already has it, but I'll forward the important dates off to him just to be sure!

Considering last season started beginning of April, would it be safe to presume that the season will start about the same time?

Can you believe STS got easier? I needs me a 89 Civic Si..

I think we're finally at the point where a to the limit STS Civic isn't competative to an at the limit STX WRX. It used to be that same Civic could win both classes, but that's only because there was so much more knowledge about how to make a Civic fast in autocross terms. Now that the WRX has been out for a while, it's caught up, and it's making use of the additional allowances in STX. The same goes for other classes... newer cars like the EVO, STI, WRX, Cooper-S, S2000, etc didn't have the same development behind them that cars like the Miata and Civic have had. I think it makes sense, now that the new "crop" of autocross cars has matured, that we're finally seeing the STS, STS2, CSP, ES and FS cars PAXes come down compared to the classes that tend to have the newer cars in them. |

STX beat STS in only 3 of the 11 tour events, and at nationals.
I am more convinced than ever that Rick is only looking at nationals which given the multi-day format, and significantly different conditions, is not a reliable data IMHO. The days of the Civic SI's PAX domination have been extended. |

In short: just drive faster. :P :lol: |

OK, but they still aren't as fast as the Civic is my contention. And you can't run 265s in STX.

One additional thing to consider about these PAX factors... cars like the STI, EVO, and WRX may not have been included in the calculations, at least not in a straight forward manner. Because they're all gaining boost modifications, and some are moving to new classes, the PAX factors may (should!) have been calculated to take that into consideration. If STX is getting boost, the WRX is going to be quite the dominator... while the Si is still going to be just as fast as it's always been... that might have something to do with the above PAX changes? |
