Another reason why I like the AutoX/TS software. It lets you create a whole
bunch of extra classes for local events with any index you want. You can
make a class for each of the Formula Juniors you want (call them FJ1, FJ2,
etc.) then have a combined class just called FJ which is indexed. If you
mark a class as indexed when you add it, it automatically will add a field
in the driver database for their regular class and do all the calculations
for you. I made a class called CPM (Combined Prep/Mod) for the Prep/Mod
cars that don't have a class and I can even wait till I do the results to
change a persons class. If I change a person form say AM to CPM is
automatically puts AM into the indexed class field.
