How do we figure the *new* GS should have a SOFTER index than the old ES, yet the new DS has a pretty brutal index...

Shouldn't the new GS have a tougher index?

Oh well.

Maybe my wife will agree that it's time to trade the GTS in.

The irony is that locally it would make very little difference (probably nationally too).

With an ES Celica, I would still be a couple of seconds back from our best GS driver, the actual gap on a 60 second course would need to be 0.78 seconds, and I have never driven that close to our best GS driver (I was within 0.2 or 0.3 on a 60 second course, once).

I tend to be at the top of the 2nd tier of pax times locally. There are the really good drivers, then about a 1 second gap to me in the pax.

Not really while ES may seem to be flying it really is not and the "new" GS number is actually tougher than the old RTP ES number (.785 vs .784)

The PAX number was soft and has been for years.
2001 Nationals
GS Pax(01) P1, P5 and P6 (do they all belong there?)
GS RTP(01) P2, P15 and P21
DS RTP(02) P5, P19 and P27

As you can see the best driver still places well but the others fall

Anyway the goal of the index is to even and tighten the field. When you see too many of one class near the top you have to wonder why.

Distance from 1st (100 = place on index)
