Dixiegrass Series Underway!
Dixie Solo 2018 AutoX Season COMPLETE
2019 PAX/RTP FactorsPAX can best be described as a relative index for Solo, much the same way a handicap rating is given in the game of golf. PAX indexes are based on results from over 500 Solo Events around the Country in 2018, including the SCCA National Championships. How strong a class performs compared to all the other classes represented determines the PAX indexes. A Modified is considered the fastest class and has a PAX of 1.00. All other PAX indexes are a percentage of that. The 2019 PAX/RTP are calculated by Rick Ruth and can be viewed here. Car Numbers and Class LettersLately there has been some discussion about displaying car numbers and class letters on cars for our local Dixie Solo events. Bottom line is your car needs to be appropriately numbered and lettered with your class so the grid, starter, workers and timing and scoring can read them. This helps keep the event moving along which translates into more seat time. Some use reusable vinyl magnets, shoe polish, masking tape, reusable static cling vinyl (for plastic cars panels), or permanent adhesive number/letter decals. The SCCA rulebook spells it out in Section 3.7 VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION: “All vehicles must display numbers and class letters on both sides (of the car), which must be readable by Timing and Scoring, Course, and Grid workers at all times.” The rules go on to explain the “numbers and letters must be a minimum of 8” high with a 1.25” stroke. Class letters must be a minimum of 4” high with a 0.75 stroke. In all cases, the height of the class letters must be between 25% and 75% of the height of the numbers.”
If you’d rather keep things simple and purchase decals online look no further than SPS Solotime. SPS offers an assortment of number and letter materials in all sorts of combinations, colors, sizes, and fonts. So keep your car numbered and lettered well enough for all to see and help keep events rolling along.
