John Blankenship - New Dirtology project performance-based rating system


I wanted to share a little project I've been working on which I'm calling Dirtology for now.

The site contains a vast amount of historical and recent race information, a performance based rating system, a prediction model that allows for picking your favorite driver for the win. Live chat and a forum to connect with other race fans and share your experiences at the track!

Very cool rating system.

Very cool rating system.

It would be nice if this system was quoted when broadcast say "The #1 driver in the country" instead of using DoD's ridiculous poll. I'm sure it could use some tweaks, but I don't see any glaring errors like you see in DoD's polls.

Maybe needs a little tweaking...

Agree, but it's like WPCT. You have to take into account the number of races they ran. 41 races is a part time schedule.

Is this an AI generated spreadsheet? "Series Strength Index" has WoO over Lucas Oil. I disagree. For example, Sheppard dominated WoO, switched to Lucas and never won a title, goes back to WoO and wins a title, comes back to Lucas and still isn't a strong championship threat. There are two elite cars in the outlaws (maybe three if Chris Madden doesn't throw a tantrum). That's it. As of right now, no WoO car has won a LOLM race and a quarter of the WoO races run so far have been won by LOLM cars.
