that's a great idea, but at the same time, leaves the door wide open for sandbaggers.... that's where bassrace limits that. You qualify, if you go over the class that you qualify in you get dis-qualified.

wall class , pro class , rookie class , amatour class 4 plus woofer class single woofer class , i think you guys did a non sanctioned show with those classes everyone would be happy

Greger

well i very strongley agree with will but i for one may try there next show to see if they have actually taken everyones critisism into consideration and got there act together. but if its the same as the last one or close to it..i have a feeling 604 will be off the map. and be loosing alot of supports. there were wayy to many ppl at the last one that probally wont be back.alot of rookies that if that was there first show..will probally never compete again.. lets just all hope the next one is better.

I realize the show is a few weeks away , with that being said, do you guy's who have posted your input think they will have an answer to classes and format within enough time frame for us out of towners to plan for this show? I was at the Sept event last year at the mall in Chilliwack and for my first SPL event on the coast, I had a blast and met some good people.

I think that the reason that IASCA, dbDrag, Usaci... all have VERY structured classes & rules is from experience. To keep everyone enthusiastic with the pace of the event, keeping it fair to all and allowing the host to show off their: shop, abilities & sense of competition is the mainstay for these things.

As an owner of a business, I find the bottom line to be EXTREMELY important. Putting on a show here & there costs way more than what I make, in the short term. I have found many who appreciate the effort imposed on us to promote car audio, send their friends, spend their money and perpetuate my shops spirit & healthy reputation. I need the structure of a sanctioned event to provide that.
I'm not saying it's the only way to work it, but that it's what works for me.


I would suggest that you have someone on the microphone to keep the crowd interested. It's made a massive impact on the shows that I go to. Making it fun, is usually more important than the size or amount of trophies.

How does it leave the door open for sandbaggers? The unstructured part of the event doesn't have trophies or anything - just prizes for how loud you go, ie any car that hits 140 gets a tee-shirt, at 145 maybe a nice gift certificate somewhere or something, etc.

The other half of the event is a standard dBDrag or IDBL event.

^^^I understand now. I was thinking the classes were going to be 135, 140, 145, 150...etc. but the way you meant, is to let the **** out, and the guy that hits the loudest, gets the biggest prize???

how about like norms show...everyone gets the same size trophy for every placing...
