        The PAX is mathematically too. Look at last years nationals, the top
HS car was 1.307 seconds Faster than the top ES car. Guess what, they
were both Celicas. Sure the nationals is a two day event and as some
have said we should not use it's results to base an index on but is it
not what the PAX is based on?  My common sense tells me the HS Celica
can be faster than the ES Celica depending on the course so the HS
index needs to reflect that potential.

Of course this is my opinion and I could be wrong.
