Ok Bob,
You have Calx rated faster than me in the last time I checked your DRF newsletters.
Otherwise we're pretty much in agreement.
The base used makes a difference in the absolute numbers but the difference between tracks is what's important.
I used TM average 80 class races which is not independent data of TM speed, which already has their ratings in the numbers. It should cancel out when comparing differences.
I've tried using Claimers or Purse values as a base but that doesn't work.
