New 2008 Points System

Hey guys, Luke and I talked about how we wanted to do the picks this year. This is what we came up with. Let me know if you guys like it, we can revise after the first race. Point values are in parenthesis.

Top Three Drivers (4, 3, 2) and Manufacturers (3, 2, 1) Manufacturer positions determined by total points accrued.
Fast Lap (2)
Pits Stops (1)
Best of the Rest (2)
Driver who Spins the most (1)
Lowest Running Driver (1)
Driver with Fewest completed laps (1)
Car taken out at first corner (1)

Total (24)

We also thought it might be fun to make some season long predictions that can be bonus points at the end.

Drivers Championship (5)
Manufacturers Championship (5)

Two other Predictions (3)

What driver won't complete the season? How will Bourdais do? What disaster will happen at the night race in Singapore? Most DNF's, fewest? Be creative...
