By standardizing the points system, it makes much more sense. It wouldn't be that hard to put together a plus or minus points system and leave most of the personal opinions out of it. You could break it into 5 categories with a maximum amount of 5 points per category for a maximum total of the same 25 points.

One category could be comfort and convenience with one point for each
-heater or ac unit
-radio
-interior, including carpeting
-windshield wipers
-put a decibel meter in the car at idle, I have no idea what the number should be but the it could be pretty high

Those points are pretty clear cut and most street cars should have no problem picking up 5 points right there.

One subjective category could be overall appearance/fit and finish and be subjectively judged on a 1 to 5 scale by people without any involvement in the cars that are competing. 1 point available for each of the following:

-panel alignment and gaps
-paint finish and detail
-custom fab work
-stance and wheel/tire fit
-cohesiveness of theme/execution

Even if your car isn't judge friendly because you painted it pepto bismol pink with baby blue spash graphics, you can still pick up points here. Wheels either fit or they don't, and panels are aligned or they aren't. 1 point if they do/are or zero points if otherwise.

I don't have it all figured out but something like this would accomplish the orginal goal of keeping out the racecars and promoting quality cars that are well thought out and streetable.

Drag week and OneLap have proven that if you can tolerate it, you can drive a racecar across the country, to think that a 75 mile cruise proves streetability is wrong. But using the points to reward someone for building a streetable car seems to be inline with the original intent.......to me.

Fixed! :D

I was lucky enough to received one of the limited edition Topps cards for the Matt Alcala driven 69 Camaro.

I still have several stacks of those cards and don't know what to do with them.

Close pin them to the spokes of your Stingray. :D

Nice time today! :thumbsup:

Those are badass I didn't get one:y0!:

Dang, I almost didn't recognize my car because it looks so clean in that picture. :lol:

I'm leaving a Matt A smudge on the trailer and a couple of tools in your honor. Lol

Was great spending some time with you at OUSCI and Scottsdale.
