And your point is???
If you run Street Tire, you can compare your times to the other Street Tire
entries, to the Rookie classes, and to your Open class.
If all the other indexed Street Tire entries are beating you, that's
"feedback for improvement".
If all the Rookie entries in your class are beating you, you suck.
If not all the Open class cars are beating you and it's not raining,
congratulations!

A little secret is that you can't use the PAX for seeing how you did against
120 entries - it's not that precise a tool for a single event. You can only
get fairly useful information out of looking at the similar classes anyway.
It would be interesting to do a weighted average of PAX position throughout
the year; but I already know most of the people who would float to the top.
