AutocrossRank
About This Site

Built to track autocross history, results, classes, and rankings in one place.

AutocrossRank.com brings together event results, driver history, class and PAX data, uploads, claims, and public rankings so racers and fans can follow performance across seasons.

What AutocrossRank Does

The site is designed to make autocross data easier to explore and easier to trust. Visitors can browse events, drill into class results, look up drivers, review class and PAX information, and see public driver rankings built from imported event data.

For signed-in users, the site also supports uploads, result claiming, and account-level history. For admins, it adds review tools, parsing workflows, class management, and ranking controls.

About Chris Hammond

AutocrossRank.com is the work of Chris Hammond, an autocrosser from St. Louis who has been part of the sport for more than 25 years.

Chris first launched Christoc.com's Racing Forums, which later evolved into Pylon.cc and ultimately SOLO2.ORG. This site continues that long-running effort to give the autocross community useful tools, shared history, and a place to follow the sport online.

Pick The Winners

AutocrossRank.com is also the home of the annual Pick The Winners contest. That tradition is coming back again for the 2026 season.

What's Public Today

Public visitors can already browse events, drivers, classes, and rankings without needing to log in. As more data is reviewed and imported, the historical picture should keep getting better.

Recommended Timing & Scoring Tools

The following tools work especially well with AutocrossRank. If you manage results for a region or club, these are the easiest paths to getting your events included consistently and accurately.

Recommended

Pronto is our top recommendation for autocross timing and results management. After each event, Pronto automatically publishes full HTML results to a public URL — no extra steps needed. Just paste the link into the upload form and your results are imported with high accuracy. Pronto is actively developed and widely used at SCCA regions across the country.

Other Tools
  • AXWare — supports HTML results exports that import reliably into AutocrossRank. If your region already uses AXWare, export a results page and submit it here or via a direct link.
  • Clokkr — support coming soon.

Using a different timing system? Contact us and we will do our best to work with whatever format your region uses.

How The Current Ranking Algorithm Works

AutocrossRank uses the Glicko-2rating system — the same family of algorithms used in competitive chess and many online rating systems. Every driver starts at a rating of 1500, and that rating moves up or down based on head-to-head class results at each event. The system also tracks how confident it is in each driver's rating and how consistent their results have been over time.

1. Each driver carries three numbers: Rating, Rating Deviation, and Volatility.
Rating is the skill estimate (starts at 1500). Rating Deviation (RD) measures how confident the system is — a new driver has high uncertainty (~350) that shrinks as results confirm the estimate. Volatility tracks how much a driver’s performance is expected to fluctuate.
2. Rankings are computed inside each class, not across all cars at once.
For each event, the algorithm groups drivers by class and only compares drivers who actually ran against one another in that class.
3. Beating a higher-rated driver is worth more than beating a lower-rated one.
Every head-to-head pairing within a class counts as a separate outcome. If your time beats a driver whose rating is above yours, the system rewards you more than if you beat someone rated lower.
4. Losing to a weaker-rated driver hurts more than losing to a stronger one.
The same logic applies in reverse. The expected outcome of each matchup is calculated from the ratings involved, and your rating shift reflects how surprising the actual result was.
5. The system tracks certainty, not just score.
Drivers who haven’t competed recently see their RD widen — the system becomes less certain of their current level until they race again. High-RD drivers can move quickly up or down when new results arrive.
6. Bad or incomplete results are excluded.
A result is excluded from ranking comparisons if it has no usable event time, or if it appears to be an incomplete multi-course result where only part of the required day was actually completed.
7. Final order is by rating first, then wins and event count.
After all events in the chosen scope are processed, drivers are sorted by rating. Wins and total ranked events are then used as tie-breakers.

In plain English: the algorithm tries to reward drivers for consistently beating strong competitors in their class, adjusts for the expected outcome of each matchup, and ignores result rows that look incomplete or unreliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

My results are listed under multiple names (e.g. "Chris Hammond", "Christopher Hammond", "Chris H"). Can they be combined?
Yes. Use the Contact form or the driver claim process to let us know which names belong to you. An admin will review and merge the records so your full history appears under a single profile.
I found event results that look wrong or have an error. How do I report it?
Use the Contact form and include the event name, year, and a brief description of the issue (wrong time, wrong class, missing result, etc.). Admins review reported issues and can correct or re-import data as needed.
How do I claim my driver results?
Sign in to your account and visit your driver profile page. From there you can submit a claim request linking event results to your account. Claims are reviewed before they are approved.
How often are rankings updated?
Rankings are currently updated manually as new event data is imported and reviewed. A recurring automated schedule is planned for the future.
Which events and regions are included?
The site focuses on autocross (solo) events. Coverage grows as data is reviewed and imported. If you know of an event or season that is missing, use the Contact form to let us know.
How can I get my region's results included?
Reach out via the Contact form and let us know which region you are from and what result data is available. If you can provide result files or point us to where they are published, that makes it much easier to get your region added.
I run events for a region. What can I do to make sure our results get included?
The single most impactful thing you can do is publish your results online in HTML format using Axware or Pronto. Both tools can export a results page directly to a web host or public URL. When results are available as a public HTML page, they are far easier to import accurately and consistently. Results shared only as PDFs, spreadsheets, or paper printouts require significantly more manual work and are more likely to contain errors or be skipped entirely. If your region already publishes HTML results, reach out via the Contact form and we will work to get your events included.
How do I get an event added?
If you have a result file (such as an official scoring export) for an event not yet on the site, you can submit it through the upload tool when logged in, or send it via the Contact form. Admins review uploads before they are published.
Why don't I see my results even though I competed?
Results are only visible after the event data has been imported and reviewed. If the event appears on the site but your name is missing, it may be listed under a different name variation — see the first question above. If the whole event is missing, use the Contact form.
What about ProSolo events?
ProSolo events are not currently included in the site. If there is strong interest in adding ProSolo data, please let us know through the Contact form.
I haven't competed in a bit, why did my ranking change?
Rankings can change even if you haven’t competed recently because the system updates based on the results of other drivers. If other drivers improve or decline in skill, it can affect your relative ranking. We also are constantly adding new (old) events and updating data as we find errors.
