i have a competition EVERY MONTH. it's not a MECA, DBdrag, IASCA event. its a PCA (pulse car audio) event. with points even. there are a few DC competitors at every show I do. I think they should get the points for those events. they are still there reppin DC.
Nick Garcia (chode), Scott Snyder, Jen Snyder usually make the drive. Infact DC can thank CHODE for getting the name known in this area. I have had a few customers come into the store and ask about DC from seeing his truck at my shows. Good job Nick!
I dont even sell DC, nor support it (we use DD) but I do think it's fair.
and for the guys who say there are no shows in their area... you need to go to your LOCAL audio dealer and ask them to put one on. there is no reason they cannot. my shows are a success with very decent turnouts (for local shows) averaging 25-30 people per event. i start at 1pm and we are usually done by 4. registration 11am to 1pm (time for looking and peepin other's rides)
We do have MECA shows during the year. Infact there is one tomorrow here at Hoops! Sports Bar (yea i hold my shows at a bar!! pool tables, a/c, heat, bathrooms, food, and drinks) And I have two more scheduled during the year.
