I agree and have no idea how they came up with this rating system but
maybe this is how it works in other Nascar ranked sims? Since this is
the new rating system, I guess it wont be changed now? Yukk..
| Which opens a whole new can-o-fishbait.....since the IC is combined for
all
| four classes/track types it really doesn't seem too "fair" that an
incident is
| given the same effect on the ratings at Bristol as it does at the
| megaspeedways. Sure you run more laps at Bristol meaning that a single
| incident may not have the same effect but the odds of incurring multiple
| incidents in a 50 lap short track race (especially in pickup events) are
mighty
| high.

Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you

Since the ranking reset I have managed to attain a 2 rating on SS but my
average score (divided by 9) is a negative 8.3333 but on speedway I am still
at a ZERO ranking even though my average is +.3333
I have also notice in the last couple of days that more hosted races are
setting the ranking limits at 3-10 or even 5-10. It's making it more difficult
to find a good server to run on. The pappy ones generally suck with 30+
entrants and major incidents unavoidable.

Like to run the flat speedways like Homestead and Vegas but hard to find a
decent server connection without password that will take a ZERO ranking.
