I need a complete Track Class for my TPR project example:

Level 1
Aqu
Bel
Dmr
Hol
Sa
Sar

Level 2
GP
Kee
OP

and so forth. I have some, but I do miss a bunch. If anyone does have a complete list, can you be so kind to e-mail to me.
Thank you

Pino,

Here's the information out of the gpars.dbf in Val3, sorted by both name and class level. I played with it for a while, but gave up updating it after Guy said it wasn't used by Val or Spec. Its from sometime in the late 90's, so is somewhat out of date. It has LS and HOU, but not RET. Does have TRM and HIA, and some of the class levels look out of date.

The DRF used to put out a complete list of tracks ranked by purse value every year. If you can find that on their web site, or in a print copy, you might be able to cobble out an updated version without too much trouble.

Jeff,
I think the concept of TPR is as good now as it was when first introduced. Doing the math can be tedious at times but that is a must if you want to understand it. This a complex game that require a lot of study. I like to crunch numbers to find out the reasoning behind the TPR's concepts or any other ideas out there. I think just pressing ENTER doesn't give me any winners. I'l keep you posted on the findings.

I'd have to agree that the TPR's are as good as ever. I think they are probably the best contender selection tool I've ever seen. Their simplicity makes them easy to grasp at a glance. Those numbers are the first thing I ever used that made me believe I could really be a winner at this game.

Please keep everyone posted on your progress. What are you using for track to track adjustment?
