Race Index Calculator

[Kitt]

I was doing this to keep track, figured some of you may find it useful...

Sorry for it being so long, but some of you rich guys race 5 plus races a weekend, so I figured I better make it for 40 races.


edit: got it uploaded! let me know if it helps

Good luck Kit. I met you the night before you picked up the bike over in T1a. Are you going to have her ready for the classic?

Hey, good to meet you!

I hope it'll be ready.... have quite a to-do list, but if my gauges, rearsets, and exhaust come in I should be all set... although I may be in primer for the classic.

Anyone got this?

I think I have a new index of .493

Old was .392
add race 1 at .650
race 2 at .385
and race 3 at .750
divide by 11 races gives me a .493 right?

Nope.

Old was .392 x 8 races = 3.136
Add race 1 at .650 = 3.786
race 2 at .385 = 4.171
race 3 at .750 = 4.921
divide by 11 = .447

[Doc]

Ok smart man... So what do I need to get a .500 for the year? Minimum?

[Doc]

I double checked. Looks like .384

0.167, 0.400, 0.167, 0.500, 0.222, 0.167, 0.429, 0.385, 0.650, 0.385, 0.750
Divided by 11

Not that I NEED to advance, just wanted to see how far off I am. Can I drop one of the low ones?

[Honclfibr]

Ok smart man... So what do I need to get a .500 for the year? Minimum?

That depends on how many more races you do. And how many you finish.

[Honclfibr]

If you finish three races next weekend, then the equation is:

(.447*11 + 3x)/14 = .500
.500*14 - .447*11 = 3x
x = 2.083 / 3 = .694, so the average index of your three races needs to be a .694 or higher

If you only finish two races:
(.447 * 11 + 2x) / 13 = .5
.500*13 - .447 * 11 = 2x
x = 1.583 / 2 = .7915, so the average index of your two races would need to be a .7915 or higher.

[Doc]

ok so do that again with a .384.

I need like 3 firsts.

[Kitt]

is my calculator too tricky? works fine, and works correct...

If you guys are comparing your calculations to the ones that were documented by lrrs, their season index #'s were calculated by placement out of entries (which is not what the rule states)...

My calculator does placement out of starters...

I had .846 .857 .773 and .625 this weekend... def. helped my index!

Don't Crash.
No mechanical.
Don't do a Chris.
&
Win all your races.

Any questions?

[smf]

Don't do a Chris.

doc... even if you don't have the index you can still request to bump to AM for next season (assuming you want to). if you've got the lap times and have done reasonably well i'd think they'd like you in.

[13]

He can do a Chris if he wants. DNFs don't go against your index. But they don't help either.......

[BLACK SQUIRREL]

I Say go for it if you want, but make sure you take the oppurtunity to win some 1st place woods before you do.

i used to think this way. not anymore. if you've got the times i'd get out ASAP. there are way to many ppl in novice that have no clue what a racing line is among other things.

Thats the way it should be

winning in novice is just a formality ... the goal is to always move up. You gain experience in NV, but once you are eligible to bump, I say bump. At least in AM, once you start doing well you can start winning contingency money

I never understand the people who sit in NV forever just to collect NV wins ... you only get better/faster by running with people that are faster than you.
