seems to me you guys are talking more SQ/SQL than you are SPL burps. most guys i know dont want to go to a comp with there daily drivers when they get put up against a guy who has perfected his burp system. makes it much less fun for first time guys.
This is preobably the main reason for lack of new blood. Not everybody has the drive to build a "comp" setup. But, how else do you do it? I've been saying for a while that there should be frequency classes. 30hz, 40hz, 50+ whatever. But with that said, the guys who win.. will continue to win. It doesn't matter what rules you change or add.
dont MOST orgs have like an amatuer class?
This is laughable when it comes to USACi. Their "entry level" class is Stock 0-600. I won't tell you how much I put into my first year's build, but it was way outside of the realm of "entry level," and I got my *** handed to me. They really need to have the winners of that class move on every year. If you win finals in that class, you shouldn't be eligible to compete in it the next year. I mean, that one team won that class like 7 years in a row. WTF? Really?
Anything can get loud if you put the time into it.
You just have to drive to shows..don't have to compete or anything like that, just go hang out and have fun.
This was the point of this year's build for me. Taking Pyle to world finals? Lmao. I did a respectable number and came home with a trophy with $200 worth of subs.
I ALWAYS make a point to talk to the newer guys and help if I can. I mean, I'm nobody, but I heard from some non-competitors that they don't go because eveybody there is a **** and talks ***** and brags about how loud they are, etc. It's a competition, yes. But that doesn't mean that this whole ballgame isn't supposed to be fun. I love burping my little CRX and stomping some braggart's ***.
Sometimes, if I know a newer guy is there and wants to run my class, I'll step aside and run higher power class so that it's a little more fair. Because honestly, pretty much my whole state knows Stock 0-600 is my M-O so they don't bother even building for that class. Lol.
