Each league has classes for these kinds of people, they just don't know it cause they don't know the rules. This is why I'm doing video tutorials for how meca formats are done so I can bring more understanding to potential competitors. Meca has amateur street, dbdrag has streeet stock as does usaci so the divisions are there. Crazy part is ppl don't realize its so fun win or lose. Just a bunch of cool (for the most part) enthusiasts hanging outThis is another issue that needs to addressed. In order to keep the sport growing new people have to feel that they can come in and win their respective classes with out much money or tons of builds to get it done. This is needed to get them into the scene and to get "bit by the bug" which will drive them to want to do more and build more and be a part of the shows and make friends with in the show scene.
thats what i noticed at the first comps i went to. when my buddy wanted to compete for the first time we asked a lot of questions and got a lot of answers and met some cool people. when i re-did mine and had a little extra money to start off with and everything, i decided i wanted to try it and i love it. i have a blast wherever i go, wife hates it sometimes, but she even comes out from time to time and enjoys herself.yes they do, but it is very misleading most of the time.
I encourage anyone who has ever remotely even considered it running in the lanes SPL/SQ what ever, to try it at least once. Many times you find that it is not for you, others will love it.
However, be sure to mingle with people. Don't just sit by your car and do nothing and talk to no one. Most of the people at shows are friendly and are there to have a good time and also encourage new people to come and hang out.
I wouldn't consider the stock class for everyone in USACi. I do understand what your saying though and yes each org has those classes. The real issue are the judges who run the shows and don't use the classes or are they do not understand how to properly use those classes.Each league has classes for these kinds of people, they just don't know it cause they don't know the rules.

mine does both tommyAlso, to add what I've already put, it's also hard to have a competitive SPL setup and a daily driver setup at the same time. Often it takes a lot more work and more money for better equipment in order to pull off both successfully.
Burp setups are going to be hard to beat with a "daily friendly" setup. This is another one of the drawbacks and one of the reasons why a lot of people don't compete.
I didn't say it was impossible, but it is hard.mine does both tommy
your right ,it was alot of work and testing,but 152.8 burp and 149.9 bass race ,but i normally do 139.9,and climbingI didn't say it was impossible, but it is hard.
And "competitive" depends on your area and who you are competing against. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
