i think we need to be decreasing classes, instead of trying to get more. i would like to see tighter competition in the extreme class, so one of those classes should be cut coughex1cough. next order of business is to maybe decrease the amount of points for extreme competitors to be able to go to finals(i feel we could do our part in saving some gas). work something out with superstreet too as well.
next order of business if nobody cares for my suggestions is to set up some world finals or regional stations for world finals... again we should be doing our part for saving gas and this way no one can bitch about how far they have to drive. i believe wayne's vision was to have competitors from europe being able to compete at world finals by using sensors over there. i know this is a big step and definitely needs a lot of planning. this might induce some more things said about certain judges who make up certain rules at some certain shows.
i understand these are not going to be the most popular ideas suggested, if you think you have a better idea, spit it out. but please after reading this, reread without any bias' that could help you out or make your own class for what you want to do. think of dbdrag family instead of yourselves for a change.

i say give out the same amount of points but only need like 40-50 points
maybe something like this
street competitors 60points super street 50 points extreme 45
and all points must be made in the car your taking to finals. i doubt if gas prices keep rising that if 100 points is still needed that their will be alot of people with 100 pints. i was planing on going to the showdown next year save my money i had for finasl and some more like 2,000$ but with gas prices that will all go just for gas and plus the shows and plus room and food im not spending 3,500$ just on points.
*** edit i know wayne wont like that idea much cause he wants us to participate in a certain amount of shows so that he can have money for finals. but i wouldnt mind paying twice the amount i pay now to compete if i only need half the points. only cause it saves time and gas. so that should solve the world finals money issue. if not wayne can risk a very select few of people showing up to finals next year cause most of are allready struggling just to get by and buy equipment and compete. so those including me wont ever go to finals. it been a dream of mines to go to finals for a long time. but gettingthe lady time of work all the time aint eazy.

hmmm so people only need to win 2 or 3 shows a year to make it to finals? naw, that's not really much of an accomplishment that warrants an invite to finals. I don't believe buying an invite makes it any more worth while.
As of now 3xers are what, $60 to compete? I don't see many people paying double ($120) plus gas, time, & mileage to make it to a 3xer, especially rookie/newcomers.
now if extreme guys were given an extra 1x per show, that would make it better for them. So for example, 1xers would be a 2x...2x would be 3x...3x would be 4x.
Personally I think the "y" amount of points OR so many shows is a plus.

a new comer to extreme it will take at least 3-3x for a new comer to get enough points and if they do extreme i bet they wont be getting first. but either way 120$ to get into a 3x isnt bad when its gonna cost soon 200$ just in gas to make it to one. shh i did the math just to make it to the west coast finale alone in gas im gonna have to pay at least 190$ just in gas. do i mind yes if i have to do it 7 times a year but would i mind if it was 3-4 times yes but alot less. but i doubt gas prices are gonna get any cheaper they will just go up and up. so what maybe 300-400$ in gas alone to make it to a 3x ? well if the points stay the same i talked to my old employer he said he would let me throw shows at his shop to help me make it to finals cause he knows how bad i want to go. and good thing is its only 6 blocks away gass can cost 100$ a gallon and il still drive their LOL or push the truck their LMAO!!

i suggest 50 points in the season, no matter what place they finished at finals... we need to find a way to get the extreme vehicles back out there.
or maybe some cool prize for the extreme vehicle at the most shows...

sure, why not? my car is 'extreme' and i'm a n00b.

how often do you see ex cars at shows? Not often at all. So few it's been a garunteed placement for any ex. competitor around here (gotta love default). ps - 1st @ 3xer = 24pts. if it takes 45 to make it to finals, (2) 1st places @ 3xers = 48pts, ie...two shows and you're in. (remember, default)
j-funkz is right, need to get the ex. rides back out. Not just the ex though, more heavy hitters, like ss5+.
Raising prices will not bring new competitors, period. It will result in current competitors retiring.
Don't get me wrong, changing the point system is a great idea. Not very fun or fair for 2 or 3 wins to be a considered a finalist though.
Perhaps a new intro to invitations...say 50 points as long as they're within the top 10? Help cut down on sandbaggin lol

i got to say i totally agree with that 50 points and being top 10 totally agree with it. makes it so that theirs less sandbaggin and more excitement at the shows since people wont be doing 130 when they can do 155's...
here is another idea. im just throwing ideas in hte mix dont mean anything just ideas
40 points if your top 5 60 top 8 70 top 10 80 top 15
just something like that and all you need is a 100 points just to get an invite to finals no matter how loud you are and how many hsows you hit. but the top 5 and so on the score done at finals shouldnt count. only scores after finals. good idea deaftones.

another thing that might help out is if xm is willing to that they allow each judge to have 20 shows not the 10 that i think they are allowed. and to maybe cover costs xm should only cover the entry fee i doubt many newbs care if their members.

i wonder whats gonna happen next year. if prices hit 5-6$ a gallon i think wayne should keep the same rules so that people dont have to buy any equipment and save it for gas and work out a new points system. or he will be getting alot less competitors from teh west coast. and everywhere else

Was mentioned last year, would be a god send to alot of current model european cars.
People build show installs, compete at the odd event and because the install is upto the factory cover and above window line, they get bumped up and have their asses hand to them.
Hence they dont compete often.
