Daren, I understand your point, and I know very well how the SCCA does their pax index, but unfortunately, they lump Porsches in just a few groups so it would make an ALL Porsche event unfair due to the disparity between models and years put in the same class. NNJR has about 8 stock classes, and even those are separated into Veterans, Rookies(1st yr.), and ladies plus improoved and modified classes. This works when you get consistently 100+ participants for every event, and at least 1/3 of them go home with some kind of trophy. It will snow in July before we get that participation in RTR, so for the smaller regions, a group of us, thru an advocate group have worked on a system that is uniform and can be tailored to any size AX participation. Look at Maverick Region AX program. Charlie Davis, whom I have worked with, tailored an online registration form (from an Excel spreadsheet) to class cars in stock form and then individual's car moved to a different class based on the modifications. This is basically ranking ALL the cars at a particulat AX, based on their potential performance, and then grouping them into as many classes a region wants to have. If there is only ONE car in a class, is there competition?
