This method would work, but you cant penalize a guy for going fast. You should only penalize an engine if the average of everyone using that combo goes fast. For example, if the 10 slowest guys go 3 tenths faster than the 10 slowest guys of another combo, then that tells you more. Looking at one engine with a trigger method destroys class racing.

It tells you nothing unless you consider the air quality. He also needed a weather station.

Lynn, many of us remember they way farnmer did things...although many times it was not pretty, he seemed fair and there was not the issues we have today with the factoring. Do not get me wrong, with all the new technology and science today, the problem can be solved with a computer program.
