I always have a great time wherever i go and i can not know a single person at an event, its a community and i dont think people want bs when they go out to have fun, and frankly if people are too worried then thats fine if they dont compete, just dont complain about it later. But another thing is that noobs are the kids of events and when others get older and out of the sport where are we gonna go from there to keep it going?

Personally i would compete etc , but i would feel like such an underdog etc. Its not so much the fear of descrimination, just going with people that kno 10x more than myself, and have so much better equipment seems pointless.Signing up for a bashin.

first of all I don't compete, I particularly have no interest in spl. That said, I'm a little curious as to why anyone interested in competing would be afraid to lose initially. Do any of you think that the winners all started at the top? Most are just like you in that they had an interest in the sport, and decided to compete. As with everything else, they lost for awhile, but as their knowledge grew, so did their success. If I was interested in competing, believe me, I'd be out there at every opportunity to learn the tricks and get to know the players...it's the only way to advance. My advice, get out there and jump right in...the sooner you start, the sooner you'll win or do really well!!...and have fun...it's car audio...not heart surgery.

re-read what veeman said. You need enough physical and mental tools to get where you want to be. You dont learn by winning you learn by loosing. Frankly your knowledge will only get you so far then you have to acquire new info.
Loosing in SQ or SPL is better than winning to motivate you to improve

First of all, you can't tell people to stay at home and watch cartoons and not come to the show.

I used to compete and now I support my friends in their team and go to watch and help out with their cars.

If you want people to come to the shows you have to make them want to come out.

So what if you have to offer an incentive to compete in the shows, if no noobs come and compete, then all you'll have is the same people at every show.

Now, it's not even the noobs getting all bitchy and huffy over losing anyways... as soon as one of the regulars or pros gets beat, it's all
"they're cheating" "rip the car apart and audit", and there is a situation going on right now doing exactly that,,, not sure if I can comment on the situation, but it'll come out here soon enough I'm sure.

With every "sport" you have to have new people coming in to keep it going or there wont be any events in the future.

Noobs should be encouraged to come and if making a new class for them to "get their feet wet" will bring them out, than so be it.

Shunning them away only makes you look like a know it all fool who wants everything for yourself.
