    voting etc.

    if you ask me the selection and some of the voting is way off....how did that diangelo guy and the paul40ex guy not make it in? but some quads with flat tires no chain not as worked make it? who did the selection for the finals? everyone who posted and those who all did make all have really nice quads but the way the final selection went is a lil odd to me... bee rock has a full laegers R and got just a few votes? maybe there should be a scale like this

    overall looks 1-10 (overall opinion on the look regardless of the mods)

    performance for intended use 1-10 (how well the quad is setup for dunes...mx, xc etc)

    quality of parts used 1-10( american star race quad should be scored much much lower than a full laeger or roll race quad)

    condition pictured 1-10 (covered in mud missing parts etc lower score than something that looks like it came off the showroom floor)


    for example i would rate this quad

    all 10s... but say your throw some ratty plastic on there...has bald tires etc you get a 23 instead of 40 it would keep it fair for everyone..... and just because you have a super worked quad you might not always win and because you have a stock quad all pced and polished you might not beat out someone who has a equally good looking quad but setup.... i mean you couldnt honestly rate a pced and polished say ...300ex higher than a full roll 250r just for looks there has to be a criteria.... and the scores for each quad should be posted for each category and a overall comment...

    if this was just for fun then what the hell throw up a poll but its going on the site and blingstar is handing out prizes you guys really need to do it right

    by the way catgories like "degree of customization" could be added too...the kid who had the r with blaster engine didnt have the best looking quad but he should be rewarded for his efforts ...say the scale is 1-10 he didnt do all his own work th en maybe he gets a 6 say he did all the wleding etc then a 10... or a walsh crf vs a mildly modded production bike etc

    i know it sounds unfair that it will take more than a pretty quad to win but imo to have the nicest quad you gotta lay down the cash

    I think they are trying to make some changes, hopefully it wont be a popularity contest all the time.
