Border Racing Group Event# 9 & 10 FAST FIVE Runoff

Annual Hoosier Racing Tire "Fast Five" Runoffs

*This is a 2-Day Special Autocross Event

There will be special awards given out to the top five drivers according to 2024 PAX Index. Each competitor will be given a minimum of six (6) runs per day to in order to establish their quickest time to establish their qualifying time toward the Fast Five finale. A competitor's quickest (PAXed Time) from each Sunday will be added together to determine your Fast Five qualifying position. The top five drivers based on their aggregate PAX time will then advance to the "Fast Five" Runoffs. These top five drivers will then be given just one (1) more run to try to win the "Fast Five" Runoffs. This is a very exciting autocross event and having Hoosier Racing Tire on board as a sponsor just makes this event that more special. You don't want to miss this event. Put it on your calendar.

COMPETITION DIVISIONS

NOVICE – First time in autocross competition (for 2 years)

INTERMEDIATE – For less experienced drivers or cars not prepared at top level. No time limit for this class.

PRO – This a category that is reserved for drivers that have demonstrated very strong driver skills and experience (not to be judged in years), excellent car preparation and/or possess a vehicle that has a distinct and clear advantage over the competition due to its power, weight, tire & wheel size, car classification and/or PAX Index.

NUMBER OF RUNS

We may have a total of 5 to 8 runs per event depending on the number of entries and any time constraints. 

WHAT IS THE COST?

The cost is $65 for all entrants. 

POINT SYSTEM

1st-25; 2nd-18; 3rd-15; 4th-12; 5th-10; 6th-8; 7th-6; 8th-4, 9th-2; 10th-1.

CAR NUMBERS

Competitors are encouraged to bring their own numbers and letters. Blue painter’s tape will be available for making your own numbers and class letters. Numbers must be at least 8″ tall with a 1.5″ stroke in a contrasting color.  We will also have shoe polish available for application on a window! 

PAX stands for “Professional Autocross.” It is a handicapping system developed by Rick Ruth many years ago to equalize the times across the myriad of classes developed by the SCCA. Each car class will have a PAX index, or multiplier for each car’s raw time. A new index is updated every year by analyzing local and national level autocross events across the U.S. 

For example, A Modified (AM) is the fastest class and has a PAX index of 1. The slowest class is H Street (HS), which has a PAX index of 0.780. Theoretically, the PAX times for these two cars can be compared in competition and a winner determined even though they are in vastly different classes.
