Hey Jerry,
SS/CX is one of the indexes that is WAY out of whack in relaton to AX to BX for horsepower. It makes sense now as you say it got hit for an index adjustment. Since it has not had a record holder since 2008, how long before they give you some index back? Here is the way I see it @
AX - 8.5 lbs per inch = 9.80 index
BX - 11.0 lbs per inch = 10.85 index
the index differential from AX to BX is + .21 per .5 lbs on the index. IF you add the same .21 per .5 lbs from BX to CX shouldnt the index be 11.48 instead of 11.10. If I was looking at running the MX class I would definately choose AX or BX because they are much friendlier to the racer.
Now look at EX in relation to BX
BX - 11.0 lbs per inch = 10.85 index
EX - 11.5 lbs per inch = 10.50 index
In theory because the class is .5 lbs per inch heavier should it not be that the index is slower than BX because we carry more weight but they have us .35 faster and before the adjustment .65 faster ...
Am I looking at this wrong Jerry?
