IOW Track Rating and How it works...

I've really got nothing better to do so here goes...

Special Shows are any race that pays more than $2,000 to win.

Rank Track # of Total Races Avg Car Count # of Regular Shows Regular Show Rating # of Special Shows Special Show Rating Overall Rating
1 Terre Haute Action Track 2 31 0 0.00 2 4.27 4.27
2 Twin Cities Raceway Park 1 33 0 0.00 1 4.19 4.19
3 Tri-State Speedway 2 30 0 0.00 2 3.95 3.95
4 Kokomo Speedway 4 28 4 3.71 0 0.00 3.71
5 Gas City I-69 Speedway 5 29 3 2.86 2 4.51 3.52
6 Bloomington Speedway 4 28 3 2.96 1 4.79 3.41
7 Lincoln Park Speedway 6 26 6 3.01 0 0.00 3.01
8 Lawrenceburg Speedway 5 24 4 2.81 1 3.64 2.98
9 Paragon Speedway 4 21 4 2.02 0 0.00 2.03
10 Plymouth Speedway 1 10 1 1.89 0 0.00 1.89

Now I'll try to explain how I come up with this...

Each driver in the top 5 standings is given a number rating according to there position in the standings.

Jon Stanbrough currently leads the standings and he is given an 8 pt rating.
Coleman Gulick is 2nd, he gets a 7.9 point rating. The rating drops (.1) point for every position in the standings all the way down to 1. Any driver who has competed in 1 feature race no matter where they finish gets a rating of 1 pt.

Based on complete race results each driver's rating is averaged to come up with a single race rating. Car count is also used in the formula.

Here is example for a single race...

Right now, the top 20 drivers for the Top 5 Standings are below... (Beside each driver's name you will see their rating.)
Jon Stanbrough 8
Coleman Gulick 7.9
Dave Darland 7.8
Thomas Meseraull 7.7
Scotty Weir 7.6
Shane Cottle 7.5
Hunter Schuerenberg 7.4
Jeff Bland Jr 7.3
Jon Sciscoe 7.2
Kyle Larson 7.1
Tracy Hines 7
Brent Beauchamp 6.9
Brady Bacon 6.8
Billy Puterbaugh Jr 6.7
Chase Briscoe 6.6
Chad Boespflug 6.5
Josh Cunningham 6.4
Damion Gardner 6.3
Nick Bilbee 6.2
Bud Kaeding 6.1

The average rating for those 20 drivers is 7.05

If a feature finish contains those 20 drivers with a total car count of 30 (30 cars is given a rating of 3.00). The overall rating for that race is 5.03

Just thought I'd share... It might be confusing but in my world it makes sense.
