Sure, we can use a formula based on weight or horsepower or something to figure out the FWD subtractor, but if our baseline for a typical car is 50lbs or 100lbs (depending on class), then the new formula will still end up pretty darn close to the fixed subtractor we already have.

I say, keep it simple ... fixed numbers per class are close enough. Argue all you want if the fixed number is right or not, but please, can't we just keep the process SIMPLE? It's all an approximation anyway.

Changing the process might move some weights around +/- 50lbs (see Mike's math just above) but we'd have to assign new weights to every FWD car for not much adjustment. It's not worth it.
Exactly.

I think the current deduct is close enough. The simpler the process is the better. We don't want ITAC members to have to be math majors to class a car.
