Joe,

I hear what you're saying, but what are your thoughts on this? I'd rather have things documented, period.
For the record... the process IS documented, it's just not public... You aren't going to see that happen anytime soon, because it is, as Joe correctly suggested, still fluid..,

However, I have all but handed you guys the basic process of what we are attempting, so it's not really a secret. The only thing we haven't specified publicly are the target ratios for each class or the specific values for the "adders"...

Again, the "process" is:

(Estimated IT-prep HP (flywheel) * Target Ratio) + Adders for individual specs (compared to other cars in the class) = spec weight

All followed by a sanity check to decide if the numbers make sense...

I personally don't think you'll ever see a "process" or "formula" in the ITCS. We'll do our best to set the seeds and get this all back on track, but we are still only a small piece of the process.
