This one is kind of complicated but consider it like a power ranking of each race so far.

I use car counts and driver performance from positions 1st thru 26th to come up with this ranking.

Please forgive me folks if this is too nerdy.... My dad was a math teacher and I frequently stay at a Holiday Inn Express

Bill,
Relative to the last ranking of tracks, how about a cumulative rating based on avg per race run so we can see YTD which tracks are drawing the best overall field of cars etc. That would help fans and promoters i would think??

[Bill Gardner]

Good idea! If my formulas are correct this is what it looks like so far.

We could break this down this even farther by comparing only local shows and higher paying events like USAC, MSCS, & KISS but that's for another day.

Rank	Track	# of Races	Avg Car Count	Rating
1	Twin Cities Raceway Park	1	33	3.61
2	Kokomo Speedway	2	30	3.50
3	Terre Haute Action Track	1	32	3.29
4	Gas City I-69 Speedway	4	31	3.26
5	Tri-State Speedway	1	29	3.06
6	Bloomington Speedway	3	28	2.68
7	Lincoln Park Speedway	5	27	2.57
8	Lawrenceburg Speedway	5	24	2.51
9	Paragon Speedway	4	21	1.71
10	Plymouth Speedway	1	10	1.63

Bill, thats alot of math, i don't care who says anything. My head is still spinning because of all the math u do. You do great work here and help us "math rejects" stay on course. Fun 2 see the updates and breakdowns.

[Bill Gardner]

Thank you!

If you would talk to my father who really was a math teacher, he would tell you that I was a math reject too!

The secret behind all of this is a very complex Excel speadsheet that I taught myself how to create and use. That's also how I created IOW. Trial and error.

That's how I live.

[kawkaw2]

Thanks Bill,
That ranking of tracks kinds of fits with what I feel and hear relative to how the fans perceive them. This shows the relative difference based on the shows they have had. Keep it up!
