In auto-x, what does PAX mean?

 

Its a correctoin factor applied to your time based on what class you are running in intended to give you an idea of how you stack up in competition against other classes. However at a local level this system is flawed because PAX is based on nat'l tour/national champ events, and inherently assumes cars prepped to the limit of the rule in that class.

 

Here ya go read this;

I used to have links to calculators but they seem to be defunct.

 

ok, thanks for the explanation. So when they have your "time rank" and "PAX rank", the PAX rank is if you were in the same class and the cars were equal?

 

bump. still wanna know

 

more or less, yes. its an equalizer to compare times between classes of different levels of performance.

 

gotta love G-stock

STS has a great pax considering you can do so much..

 

PAX = Professional Autocross indeX

It was invented when ProSolo started as a means of comparing cars in different classes.

 

"Time rank" sounds like raw time, before they've applied the PAX index to it. PAX rank is just that...the order in which everyone finished after indexing the times wiht the PAX index.
