All in all, it was a mixed day for me. My driving was okay as I was still trying to figure out driving on r-comps for the first time, and my low blood sugar really made everything seem a bit hazy all day (took my time driving home with MANY stops). The only time this haziness went away, was when I was driving on course and could focus my attention on following the line. Chike

I've been to events where the national A Mod champ George Bowland would finish 15th in PAX, HOWEVER, his son Todd at the same event in the same car finished 1st (FTD & FTP). A Mod carries the toughest PAX index of 1.0...

One thing that I can see here....even after taking the rain out of the equation...is that SM is not were you want to be with an SVX --- it's just too big a car. Given the progress that Ben/Dave are making with the RaceCar in FP and I'm making with BillStock/Battlestar in ESP, I think these are the only two classes that the SVX may stand a chance in. I'm looking forward to getting the DA Koni/GC set up on my car and actually getting a full season of seat time next year in ESP.

I think the MAIN thing to consider is - if you are going to do "any" modifications that will bump you into a higher class, you need to go "all the way" in order to be competitive. As an example, just steel braided brake lines will bump you up a class, but they don't make all that much difference, so potentially (and probably) you will be running against folks in the same make car that not only have the braided lines but bigger sway bars plus, that make a real difference - and they will be in the same class as you!. There is no way to be competitive in that situation. And the index'ing just can not cover every possibility. But I think it is an equalizer of sorts and puts more on the driver! Just read the rule book carefully and do the mods that REALLY make a difference.

Just got an email from Kevin Henry....turns out you can turn an STU car into an ESP car by just adding r-comps....in the case of the Legacy GT they added Kumho V710s

Of course you think its fair. G stock has the 2nd to best indexing. The scca didn't have it in GS, the Impreza RS was in GS and until someone asks for a classing a new model isn't classed.
