I give the race a rating in points, and adjust for beaten margins. The rating is an average rating as I don't see the point of just looking at final time, so I also give the final 600m a rating as well.
I convert each race to a standard, and use 1200m as my standard. So if the race is 1600m, I divide the time by the 1600m Par then multiply by the 1200m Par.

if you multiply the time by distance this becomes your track constant, then you just divide the other times into this track constant to get the distance it covered in the same time.
but you would have 3 or more track constants that provide cross hairs on a runners performance, these are fixed(track record) , relative(par or an average standard) and moving(todays performance).
these would form your basis of performance.
everything is adjusted in metres.
