If the MOTM Series ended today and the only race left was the December Finals, here is what the standings would look like....

I have to be candid, I am a little surprised I am ahead of Ballistic in the overall power rankings. He and King and I are pretty interchangeable from month to month, but when he hits, he makes it count.

It also depends on the number of classes you run in the overall.

Exactly... The Power Rankings are based off of results in the 6 Overall MOTM Scoring classes (BASX PRO, SS, SP, Elim, Unlim & SR).... Ballistic runs in 2 of those, you (Cramjet) run in 3 and King runs in 5....

If I were to add in the results from Box Stock & BASX AM then Ballistic (and others) would be higher in the Power Rankings... but I thought since the Pinnacle of this league is to be the overall MOTM, I would only include those divisions that scored points towards the overall MOTM.

I just made that decision and if we want to change the way the power rankings are displayed for next season I am down with that:)

Regarding power rankings and the possible addition of the box stock class into the formula. I believe more Pros would then start running the box stock class if power ranking is the way MOTM was calculated. Does this then defeat the purpose of the box stock class? As stated elsewhere, this class was made to encourage new racers to join proxy league racing.

I do not have an issue with BASX AM being calculated into the formula. But this then locks that racer into that class until the end of the season? How would you calculate a transfer into the Pro division if they chose to move up?

I believe it does.... I think leaving Box Stock and BASX Am out of the Overall MOTM points and out of the money (Box Stock) or less money (BASX AM) is the right move. It keeps the faster guys out of those classes. I used the same theory when making the power rankings...

I'm actually okay with BASX Am being excluded from the Power Rankings, since it is amateur after all and not figured into the MOTM. I agree it serves as incentive to get building.

My opinion on Box Stock has changed from the beginning. Its a tough, thankless class. I'm not so sure it should not have points and/or count towards the Power Ranking because its so hard to build and tune for - and we've had a couple Pros jumping in and out of that class.

Maybe I just misunderstood this statement and it was up for discussion. I guess this is where the fog came in.
