It seems to me that every time you want to check a certain setup the entire base of races have to be run using that particular set of numbers. new setup to test then entire base of races have to be run again. Is there an easier way?

Deciding how you are going to build your database is a lot easier if you have a general idea of what you want to achieve and or test for performance. Spend more time designing than building as changes to your database further in to the development cycles will kill your motivation and make it more difficult to use (measure twice cut once mentality).
Here is a place to start.
