After joking around with Jerry Mouton and Keith Hearn at the last SFR
SCCA autox about ways to visualize results data, I came up with some
graphs of results.
Here's a page with graphs for all of the SFR SCCA 1999 regular series
results:
http://www.patheticgeek.net/autox/
This has a single graph for each event, which plots the raw times
for each run of each driver, sorted from fastest to slowest. That
is, the runs for the fastest driver are all plotted on the leftmost
position. Then the next fastest driver is plotted immediately to
the right, and so on. The result is a big blotch of a line which
gives some sort of idea of how people did on each course.
I presume that the steeper the line, the better the job the course
did of differentiating between drivers. Similarly, if all of the
runs are clustered right on the same line, the course wasn't very
difficult, or at least, drivers didn't improve much between runs.
Beats me, but I thought it might be of interest. Again, comments
and suggestions are welcome...

comments, it might take awhile for me to reply...]
