SRI-According to E EP, P, S @Chuck
I am saying that building class pars before you have track pars is a complete waste of time.
I am also saying that building class pars for this year from last year's data will produce a good set of pars for what happened in the past but will not reflect in the future because the levels are just not that consistent from year to year.
In addition, there are races labeled as
c$16,000 that are good enough to be called c$25k and others that can barely stretch to c$10k.
It is better to:
1. Build solid track pars.
2. Use a
Strength Rating approach for
each individual race and completely ignore the class level system entirely.
PS: Explanation of
Strength Ratings can be found in
Percentages & Probabilities 2012.
