I think if we deem it necessary to reflect the time even if the person missed a gate or hit a cone, we should reflect the cone count as well.
Its pointless showing a time without a cone count. One may be aware of hitting a cone but may not be aware they hit a 2nd cone or 3rd cone further in the run.
Therefore, we should consider cone counts as well

Seems there was a datsun 510 at the event yesterday.
Anybody get a pic of this car?

I think that PAX isn't what needs explaining. PAX is nothing more than a side effect, and what needs to be understood is preparing a car within the rules. In other words, don't modify your car until you read the rules and really understand them. Or if that horse has left the barn door, then read the rules to figure out your best (cheapest) path to being competitive within your chosen class. Good PAX results just follow from there.
Well said Murray Unless of course you're me, and just buys the car he likes to drive, and mods it to the best class he can (Just as you suggested).
This is me. I bought my car then had a meeting with Duane in a pub. The classing rules & pax discussions lasted 1hr. The beers then went on for a few more hours

Sometimes discussions like these can get ugly on other forums, and I am happy to read here that it hasn't. Great community we have here. 
Very true Duane....I also expected things to get a bit pear shaped but I suspect this is the outcome when you have mature forum members. On the topic of PAX, its a new concept to me. I raced AutoX for many years back home & all that mattered was raw times within your class & FTD. That's all we aimed for. That said, I made some decisions with my car this year as my first year into racing with SASC, (or even with this car for that matter) & those decision had me fall into STU. I coulda removed the one swaybar & stayed in a street class but I personally dont care too much for PAX. If anything I wish we'd do away with PAX completely but, that's wishful thinking & Reijo's explanation on this thread helped me understand why we follow PAX in the first place. That said, I still push myself to be the quickest I can be in RAW. I set out at the start of the season wanting to land in the top 30% overall Raw & I've achieved that. Next season I'll just have to come back with more allowable mods for STU & hope to perform better.....Thats if STH doesn't get the approval.

OK, gentlemen, the lines are drawn! Shall we set up the time and place of the duel?
How much tire do you have left, Terry?
How about October 1 at the YYC event at the conclusion of the day after all the official runs are done.
Rules: Each driver will get 3 runs with watering of tires etc. provided for to ensure consistent tire temps and no overheating. Other rules such cones counting etc. will be the same.
I suggest Terry goes first since he is the most used to the car on cold tires etc. and would be disadvantaged the least and we will draw lots or flip coins for the rest of the run order.
Winner will be based on normal solo rules with the best/fastest run including cone penalties, DNF's etc. counting.
Participants (let me know who is in): Terry, Murray, Ryan, Stephen, Cam - any others?
We can compensate Terry for tire wear, gasoline upon agreement etc.
Sound good?
Any further suggestions?
Wow, I learned so much from reading this thread but moreso, its exciting to see friendly "call outs" or grudge match styled racing coming to AutoX. Thats usually reserved for the drag scene. I'm expected to be up north on that Oct1 weekend but I'm thinking I need to feed the wife an excuse so I can be present to watch this battle

I'm getting in on this a little late.
Does this mean my tires will be useless come next season even if they're stored in my heated garage, or is it only negatively impacted if stored out in the cold.

When do these changes get officially signed off for the coming year?
Its my first year racing under SCCA classing rules so I'm not sure how this works.

I recently read on another forum that STH class would possibly be reintroduced in 2018 to accommodate hot hatches that aren't fully modified but currently fall in modified class due to the tune increasing boost pressure.
With most hot hatches, an aftermarket tune is not available without a boost increase & this was the driving force behind re-introducing this class.
Do you have more info/insight into this Reijo?

James, I know of a storage spot in springbank if you're keen. Buddy of mine leased out the entire unit & rents out space to car enthusiasts.
Its super cheap & safe.
My R33 is current stored there since April this year.

One of the most exciting afternoons I've had racing. Thanks to everyone for the chance to run in an event like this.
Thats mighty big of you considering you got your ass kicked by a 16yr old
