  2. Dougs Mic Set Up

    POST SOMETHING ON HERE DOUG.

    could it have been from the possibility of dirty power from the 200+ feet of extention cord that was at the show? most of us when testing use the wall socket or 25 feet of cord at the most. maybe next show grab a couple of mics and laptops, and run them at the same time in the car and compare readings.

    I for one think that the changes we off based. Even though it doesn't effect me it does. I would hate to loose the competitor base we have now to include people that may or may not compete. On the other side of that, I don't compete in these classes because of cost. I can't justify building a system that needs that much money in the car to be competitive. I think they should look at what they are not doing.

    Advertising.

    It's a little trick called bring the business to you. Posting date on a few websites isn't gonna cut it. Some of the best shows we have are when they are tied into another show. For example look at Autorama. It's the 1st show of the year and it gets the biggest hype. Why?

    It brings the people. and people like a show. And we as much as some don't want to admit, we like to show off. These same people at this show would be more then happy to come to the next if they knew exactly when and where. And I bet you some might bring there car and compete. ;)

    Yelling out some web address ain't gonna cut it. they are flooded with that kind of shit all the time. Flyer's help. Getting with a store I bet would really help.

    We expect a store to fork up some dough to hold a show Why? whats in it for them? they get a bunch of cars with product they don't carry pulling up to there store and showing everyone else their shit sucks. That would be a tough sell to me too. And it's not like we as competitors buy anything. It's bad ROI for the store to hold shows.

    We as DB Drag did nothing for the shop putting on the show and that is what needs to be addressed. I bet if we had the next show already lined out in stone and did a little advertising at AR we would see a bigger turnout at that next show.

    We also need to do a better job mixing in with other car shows. We can be the dog & pony show for these kind of events. I bet ya these would bring in more people to that next show as well.

    Let me ask you old timers this. How did you find DB Drag / Usaci or the other orgs?

    Me, I had just put a system into the ol' Lady's car. I had gone into a shop to pick up some fuses and they had a flayer sitting on the counter. I went to the show, was to scared to compete but then kept tabs on when the next shows were. But it took that little note saying come check out this for me to remember to get my ass out the door.

    i had seen comps here and there back in 2000 and then happend to see a Flyer at a shp that was advertising autorama2001 w/sound comp. and other than that it was talking to other competitors that i have met to find out about the next show. I have only had the internet for a year so any on-line ads i never knew about and a lot of shows also. promoters need to pound the pavement and drop flyers not just at one shop... but at alot of the shops. Also what happend to the god old days of a prize purse. Hell back in the beginning they handed out whole vehicals for a national title, now you recieve a jacket.

    well why don't all of you go on the the DB Drag website and express your feelings, Wayne has no clue, but only a several people that post, i try too post everyday to save S/M 1-2 and come up with new ideas but i don't think he cares about 1 person, also he doesn't know that he may lose alot of competitors from the west. Wayne wants to bring in more competitors so called newbies, or new blood, which is a great idea, but why screw with the upper classes? Because he doesn't want to pay for trophies! which i don't remember him paying for i thought our money and entry fee pays for that also the money that stores give to throw shows. OH DAMN HERE I GO AGAIN.

    exactly on the pouint of the compettitors pay... there is a certain show coming up rather shortly that a hand full of the playrs opted to pony up the fee for doug to come here just so we could have the show. that is not our responsability.

    with both the full size and the mid size trucks you have about the same weight and wind resistance. differace with a larger displacement engine is better torque to get that beast moving and less revs at highwat speed. that will give better mpg if left stock with stock tires. if it is 4x4 then there will be more rolling resistance on the drivetrain so that will make the mpg worse. also larger tirer etc.
