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.

Just my 2c.
