Are you comparing the same time of year? Comparing a summer surface to a winterized track could make your results invalid.
Have you done any comparisons concerning races coming out of chutes and races not coming out of chutes?

Ranchwest,
The answer to all of your questions is: No.
Unless somebody on this board is privy to the Bris algorithm for prime power and wants to share, I'm in the dark as to how it is calculated. I've contacted Bris a handful of times iquiring how they calculate it. Their answer has always been "It's proprietary. See our webpage for further explanation." Very helpful- no?
Rail position, although it
seems to be a simple isolated factor, as you suggest, might not be. Before using it as such, further testing appears to be in order.
