The show was judged to spread out the points. Out of 160 points available, roughly 40 were engine related, If you didnt have engine work, clean engine, exhaust, etc there was a possiblity you didnt get many points on that portion, with only 160 available if you lose say 25 points your already down to 135 and you would have to have a perfect undercarrage, brake upgrades, etc to get that..
