Here is the original rules thread

The 914Cup is a way for all 914 racers to compare AX times and see 'who is faster'. Broadly speaking, it's a comparison of what percentage of TTOD are you. If your fastest time is 95% of the TTOD for that event, then you get 95 points.

There aren't really any 'rules'. Just classify your car on the sign up sheet (easy) and enter your AX times. We do the rest.

I'll come out and play. A/X is soo much fun!
Looks like I'm in the modified class, away from you go fasties.
Some day I'll put on the flairs and go big rubber.
I see Trevor is in the game!

Looks like A/X is really big here in Oregon as compared to the other events listed.

I guess I only have 4 events in the 914 this year. So lucky for you guys that I drove the RX-8 for two events and My buddies Civic for one event.

Isnt it quality over quantity in this competition? How many events are we counting for points this time?

I vote for ALL of them that you run in a 914. Last year I ran 20 events in my car and 2 more in other cars. and 2 lapping days.

Yes Quality counts, Maybe it would be nice to show total points as it is now. and another column with average.

If you take FTD for all 3 of your yearly qualifying events you have 300 points and an average of 100

If you are a "back marker" but just can't not stay away or like me have no other life other than Autocross my 20 events would have gained me 1900 ish points with and average in the 90's or what ever.

Is there another way to open the 914 cup other than through this thread?
Could we get it naiiled to the paddock header?
An average of runs seems appropriate, what ever someone decides.........

Just some ramblings.

I posted a link at the top of every page. Click the 914Cup logo! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It is hard coded right now to count only your top five entries. So max point possible is 500. I'll get a 'rules' page added in the next few days to explain all of this.

I am eager to see some debate as to how the system works and what we can do to make it better next year (probably no big changes this year).

I do think person who scores highest points total by certain point in the year should get "Crazy for AX" award. It says something when somone has discpline to go to a ton of AX's throughout the year.

I think top 5 events are a good number.

One thing on tires I penalized myself for my rear tire width of 265 for points calculation. I run 225's in front. Is this correct?

It looks like we only have 3 Autocrosses on the schedule this year (RMR PCA). How does that work? Or can i count in DE events as well? I am sure it would screw my times, as a GT3 Cup Car can hotlap a lot faster then me on a track...

Just curious, this whole thing is a nifty idea. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

hmm, we need to talk about this, but my gutt feeling would be that you can enter the DE's as well so you get to at least 5 events ...

assuming that the DE has a TT portion with official timing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

many PCA DEs back east and midwest are DE only from what I have seen...very few regions or Zones do official timing.

The ricer crowd calls it "time attack" I think it is like PAX designed to make the slow kids feel they are competative.

The "Flyin Pumpkin"? Havent seen or heard from it this season. It's more like the Jackstand Jack O' Latern. Rumor has it that is might be ready for the 2008 cup? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
