Question for you guys, actually two Q's.

1. What does PAX mean for SCCA?

2. Am I blind here? Look down the the "STN" class, there are three cars. Eclipse, Altima, and xB. I have the xB. How am I in third place out of the three when I had the fastest time out of the three? Does the SCCA have some scoring system I don't understand?

PM me when you're ready to buy tires. I've got some good options for ya.

 

PM, you has it.

 

PAX (or index)is like a handicap system.
It's a multiplier that's supposed to handicap more modified cars, so, in theory, you can race a much faster car, but be on a 'level' playing field.

The two cars above you looked like they had a G Stock PAX & you had an STS PAX. You should have a ST (Street Touring) PAX, which still would be harder to beat a car with a stock index.

I'm not familiar with the classes your region runs. Is STN a rookie class for Street Touring?

If you & the cars above you are all in STN, I would assume you all should have ST indexes...

As in Chicago (or Milwaukee) Region, we don't count the Civics...

 

STN is a novice class, that's all I know. The SCCA classes confuse me to no end so I really have no idea where I am supposed to be or why I'm in STS. I do know that I was in STN because it was my first time driving with SCCA.

 

Woot, second auto-x, took first in my class!

Nice photos! You're right on the cones! You'll be fine in regular Street Touring! Sounds like the newbie class is regional.

Looks like you need a 2step. What's your time slip look like?

 

Tonight wasn't as bad. I'll post up slips tomarrow.

 

I'm in STS now, still not 100% sure as to why, but that is where I was told I should be. I love auto-x so much now, soooooo much fun now that I have a series I can compete in.

Awesome.

 

well i am gonna try to cut some weight on her and she is goin to a test track. so we shall see how she does after the next one.

 

I'm contemplating taking out the back seats for my next race to see if there is any improvement.

 

same thing for me. plus no one rides in them so i dont need them

 

Just a heads up, the allowances for running st classes are pretty basic and do not allow for rear seat removal. Taking it out would throw you into street modified.

 

i run at two autocross events that are not scca. they have no classes so anything goes. we have even seen this thing run.

 

^^Oh geez...Dumbest thing I've ever saw.
