Please explain to me how Prod-style comp. adjustments make cars competitive.
Bill,
You're in Production... wouldn't you be better equiped to expain this to me??

Here's my stab at it... If driver A shows up to the Runoffs with car X, and dominates the show... CAs will be applied to ALL car X's in an attempt to make the other cars competitive with car X, or vise-versa, without much thought as to just how well driven, or how well prepped Car W, Y, and Z were... CAs are applied based solely on how well the car performs at the top level in a few select events...

PCAs take the opposite approach, really...

We've gone over this a hundred times... PCAs, whether you call them "Performance Compensation Adjustments", or you call them "Post-Classification Adjustments", they give the CRB the ability to adjust the weight to cars that prove, over time, to be classed at an advantage, (or potentially at a dis-advantage)...
