Just don't look at the math too closely - I'm actually second behind Mark Burt by a smidge. blush

What's up with the PAX not calculating correctly?

Congratulations though!

They used the 2018 PAX index for the calculations somehow, even though the display is showing the correct 2019 index numbers.  Not sure how the AX software managed that.

And for the manufacturer's championship, Ford is leading with 5 vs. Mazda's 4 out of the top 15.

The guy in the VW is at the bottom. That’s because he obviously wasn’t taking it serious. Good for him. Lol.

Great, congratulations! I'm sorry I wasn't there to see it. I was off work, and had registered, but had to cancel.

Wow, didn’t realize the RS is in DS now! Seems like yesterday this was a class for cars with half that power.

congrats!

The ‘18 RS is still in the previous class due to the factory LSD.  The ‘16/‘17 RS is in DS.

I seriously doubt that the factory LSD makes the '18 any more competitive than our '16 models.  I have never experienced any front wheelspin at all, and I think my no-options base model is a good bit lighter than the loaded '18 models, especially since they come with a top-heavy sunroof.

Not doubting that, but dem's da roolz.  Other than the LSD, the revised dampers and the color options, there's no real differences in the cars.  The dampers just have better rebound valving to reduce the nature of the car to "pogo" and I believe the spring rates are the same, but I've not confirmed it.  I plan on updating mine to those revised dampers and 18" wheels down the road as the ride on the roads around here isn't great.

Other than some brake fade on the track and trying to drive in the slush on summer tires, I've not had any wheel spin in mine, which is impressive considering how camber challenged the cars are from the factory.
