Goodluck to all, I'll be in the "New BS" next year!

I've read through all the Fasttrack publications, but am still a little confused. I'm new to the SCCA and most of my Autocrossing has been with a non-SCCA club that uses a simplified classing system.
As I understand it, the cars that are currently in BS will be moved to CS, merging the cars that are currently in BS and CS into one CS class. I assumed then, a prepared Z would move from BSP to CSP but I'm hearing that isn't the case. That confuses me (but I'm easily confused).
The other question, is when are the new PAX indexes calculated and published? I'm trying to decide at this point whether to remove my plenum spacer to return to stock from Sports Prepared or to keep it and make a couple suspension changes allowed in Sports Prepared. It would be smarter to go back to BS (or CS now) where I was since based on this last years indexing, it meant that the BSP folks had to give me an average of 1.4 seconds.
Looking at the indexes for CS vs BS, and CSP vs BSP, I'm surprised that the C Stock cars have a higher handicap than the B Stock cars. I'm assuming this is due to some very fast Miata drivers?

These class changes have made my decision much easier for 2010. Run in STR, get a real LSD and leave the tire trailer at home. A worst case scenario is to stay home also.

PAX is an unofficial indexing system devised by Rick Ruth. We all accept it because its neat to say you beat a Corvette while running slower. Besides, no other handicapping system has been shown to be better. The 2010 numbers will be released at the end of December, maybe January. Should be interesting.
