World War 1-nsw vs vic 2008. its open to all to submit any imput and enter. pink lc has got the vote for the vic manager, so all inquiries can be done via mcf to him and any nsw inquiries via mcf to me. whats it all about? well we have a dispute of who is the best burnout state! now i know nsw would win if it was how many idiots got busted doing it every week on sydney streets! but i think the vic cops arent as smart as ours. we are talking now bout a off-street legal shootout! now how many of us go to comps and dont understand the judging. well thats what im about. im no big shot self proclaimed promoter!!! im one of us trying to establish a sport for ALL to have a go! catergories- thats a big question i want sorted! its got to be a national scoring system that works! and user friendly so that my mum and dad can find it easy to tick the boxes then add it up! some say banging the tyres is a criteria, some same fire is a disqualification. well lets bring it out in the open now or forever hold your piece! now i class my truck as a ****ter, and i will run a catergory called rough and tough, anything goes. then we got outlaw class and street class.come on members lets get it on!!
mate im in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think rules wise!!!
we are talking about burnouts here so smashing tyres is the name of the game(blowing tyres or tyre should be a must!!). why not up the ante and make it a rule for a finals skid brand new tyres of some description must be run. i know they cost money but we are being serious here are'nt we????
to be competitive in a top notch skid comp, the car must be able to hack it!!!
if you cant smash new tyres in the allocated time(yes allocate a time limit) then it aint tough enough!! if it breaks or cant leave the pad under its own steam then its all over NO WIN!!!!
fires!!! i love a fire as much as every one else but we need to keep safety in mind!!!(this ones a hard one to call)
as for the rest of the judging the usual consistant smoke, continuity, driver control not i think i might just turn the wheel and see where i end up!! to make a skid look good is a bit of actuall ability any one can turn the tyres and turn the wheel but to control the car and make it do what you want it to do!!!!! i know there will be people who will disagree wit me on this because this is just how the burnout scene is and all of us have had disagreements at one time or another about rules but we need something like say ANDRA rules because there is alot of hard work blood sweat and tears involved now. why not add all the scores togeather at the end of the skid comp nsw vs vic to decide the TOUGHEST state!!!
you know victoria will clean up dont you!!!
its all light hearted fun!!!!
by the way im from VICTORIA
cheers FRYZEM!!!!!

VICTORIA TO BE THE FIRST STATE OF ORIGIN BURNOUT CHAMPIONS!
I've been a spectator, and a competitor of burnout comps before, and I think that while this is a good idea in theory, you're over complicating a relatively simple competition.
From an spectators view, I think you'd probably find, 8 out of 10 spectators are there to be impressed and entertained, not to see who wins. Take Saturday night's comp for example, there was maybe 5% of the crowd left in the grandstand when the winners were announced. People see the last skid, and get up and leave.
From a competitors view, It'd be good to have a set of judgeing guidlines that actually get stuck too, IE - the time limit - but if you create a list of rules as long as your arm, burnouts will become too uniform. I'll go out there and decide "Hey, haven't seen anyone do figure-8s for ages, i'll give that a go.. oh wait, thats not in the judging criteria... donuts it is!" ... Burnouts in a fashion, are creative. Catching on fire, blowing a diff, throwing a uni, popping a radiator... it's all relative, don't deduct points for putting on a show for the crowd.
I'm keen to enter as many burnout comps as I can when I put the engine back in the VH, but because I enjoy it, not to win a trophey. But hey, i'll still be absolutely stoaked if I won anything.
Gotta agree with you rpm - i'm a huge fan of watching cars getting flung all over the place, probably more so than a car that gets lost in smoke. Makes for a more interesting burnoutt IMO (more spectacular).
At the same time I think the crowd would get into the state versus state thing - justt a mattter of how it is put together.
yeh switched on, the tyre idea is cool, new, but how do you control what size, for what car. or do we run catergories of cars and they then must run the controlled tyre and size? does that make sense? xpiggy knows what its like going to the amount of events he does, the judging aint real. and tanka5.7 is half right, but at the start we are after the tuffest burnout state and then finding australias tuffest burnout cars! yes we are serious to find the big gun. so a sponsor can supply the tyres at cost to the entrants who are brave. i agree with the tow/lose situation. man we think close except for the victorian win situation. aj.510, we need you as the video referee. would it be too much to make a burnout a task. for example they have a list of things to do out there, like 5 donuts left and 5 right, 2 power whips etc. (i can see ulegal and yldtoy yelling out hell yeah man) and some cars i understand dont want to blow the tyres due to body damage. well, they must shed the tread then approach the exit road with a perfect 360 and out the door. i am starting to secure members for the shootout. how many do we need for outlaw class. will lenght of time out there give more points?
yeh man its all for the crowd, but the crowd will have never seen such intense competition, as millions of dollars worth of metal gets melted into scrap. the crowd will see that cars are prepared and ready to go three minutes, with out a 1 minute burnout then a 10 minute clean up and tow away.. now the burnout warrior 07 burnout shootout which ran a controlled tyre and time limit, go till ya blow both, had the best effect with no doubts about the winner tufflj. you could play it back to back on video to see how clean cut the decision was. thats what we need a real winner,not a crowd favourite or promoter or judge favourite. of course everybody is a winner in there own eyes. but at the end of the day you got a task to complete and the clock is youre enemy! the feedback so far is great. aj510,watch this thread eat up your megabites, ha ha!! nsw the burnout state 2008 !!!
