New PAX times for 2010

November 2009 - January 2010 - The PAX times have been recalculated for 2010 and are posted by the SCCA Chicago Region. Compared to 2009 all PAX indexes have increased with the exception of FJC which dropped .006. The largest increases in PAX indexes are in AS, BS, GS, FSP, STX, STU, SM, SSM, XP, DP, EP, GP, BM, CM, DM, EM and FJA. We'll notice faster PAX times in the indexes with the smallest increase - HS, CSP, CP, F125 and FJB. All other classes have moderate increases in PAX indexes for 2010.

The PAX (Professional Auto-X) Index has been used by SCCA and other clubs for years. You may notice a PAX time listed on the results page. It is a handicapping system that attempts to account for performance differences between car classes, allowing the drivers' performances to be compared. A PAX factor is assigned to each class; the faster the class, the higher the factor. The fastest cars have a PAX factor of 1.000; other PAX factors are a percentage based on performance potential relative to the fastest cars. Each driver's actual time around the course is multiplied by their car's PAX factor to calculate their PAX time. This PAX time is also called their indexed time or factored time. PAX times can then be compared across classes.
