How do the handicap and the raw lap time interact to produce results (sorry, i'm new to all of this

) ?

Raw Time - Handicap = Final Time

**BUR_ZX3** · 07-25-2006, 01:24 AM

Randy...

You guys just moved to a -.25.

DOH!

**thefrush** · 07-25-2006, 03:26 AM

3.25 HDCP for me.

Those of you who have posted your "new" handicaps, I've updated my records.

UPDATE: If you have not gone back to FocusChallenge.com to recalculate your handicap since we alerted everyone to the error with the tire handicapping, please do so immediately. I would like to release the official results of the event ASAP.

So with my reconfigured handicap, which I think is the same as previous (6.5), that would mean I ran a corrected 1:33.818, FWIW. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HH!!

**thefrush** · 07-26-2006, 01:10 AM

Why is my handicap so low? I have a couple of bolt-ons, coilovers, and sticky street tires. What's killing me, the coilovers?

**belacyrf** · 07-26-2006, 02:12 AM

Naaa.. Somethign is amiss... I have to look at that.

**belacyrf** · 07-26-2006, 02:18 AM

Nevermind.. it's configured correctly.. your hdcp is just low. There needs to be some refinement of course.

If it's ok with Nik I'm actually going to see if I can make some updates to this thing.

**paulhaskew** · 07-27-2006, 02:33 AM

w00t! I made it on the list... anywho... I was pushing 6psi... 197whp/197wtq

my handicap was only 2.25... total lack of driving experience... yikes!

**Draxas** · 07-27-2006, 10:48 AM

Im missing revised handicaps from the following people:

Scott Laird
Vik Kazanjian
Anthony Chelini
Ryan Bauer
Vitaliy Alexeev
Arturo Arreseigo
Samuel Franks

Everyone else is sorted out.

Expect to see a revised handicap system for future events, if not a completely new system altogether.

**acnon** · 07-27-2006, 11:46 AM

Mine didn't change. It's still 10.25

**scottishsvt** · 07-27-2006, 01:41 PM

Nik my handicap is the lack of driving skill, just joking.
it is 2.5
Scottish

**thefrush** · 07-27-2006, 02:11 PM

Just checked my HDCP again, down to 2.75.

How can Scotty have R-Comps, an LSD, gutted interior, and more bolt-ons and be only .25 less than me?

**OmniFocus** · 07-27-2006, 02:17 PM

Is everybody familiar with the need to "clear" before entering mods?

**thefrush** · 07-27-2006, 02:21 PM

Yep, I cleared all of mine and re-entered all of my mods.

Engine Modification Group Hdcp
Cat Eliminator Pipe Heavily Modified 1.5
Larger Throttle Body Moderately Modified 2.5

Suspension Modification Group Hdcp
Coilovers Heavily Modified 0
Rear Sway Bar Slightly Modified 0.5
Camber Adjustment Slightly Modified 0.5
Rear Shock Delrin Spacers Slightly Modified 0.5

Ala-Carte Modifications Hdcp
Reprogrammed OEM ECU 0.5
Flywheel 0.25
Light Weight Wheels 0.1
Short Shifter 0

**belacyrf** · 07-27-2006, 05:11 PM

Yea that Cat Elim pipe is what killed your Engine Hdcp. The Throttle Body had no effect.

Coilovers kills any handicap you might have for suspension.

The Alacart stuff needs to be re-looked at. Flywheel and ECU are to high I think.

And plus there needs to be an overall engine change.

I'm actually working on it this weekend.

1st.. you have coilovers he has springs and struts, so you lost 1/2 a hdcp point right there.
You both have SVT engines with ORP's so you're both in the "heavily modified category. Same Hdcp
He loses his 1/2 point having the LSD, so now you guys are even again.

The final 1/2 point is because of weight.. and THIS is where we need some more work

Weight needs to make a much bigger difference

**ClintB1321** · 07-27-2006, 10:48 PM

Omnifocus, thank you for the heads up on clearing before entering mods. I went from a 3.3 to a 6.8.
Thank goodness.

**wallygator** · 07-28-2006, 10:06 AM

LOL...NO!

I cleared and re-entered and came up with 0.1, but I think I'll let the last one stand since I don't think that 0.2 to 0.1 would make much of a difference at this point.
