Whats Going On...

[The Big Oki]

Hi there,

just want to talk a little about what I am doing right now.

Have no real time to pust much. Sorry for that.

Being busy for my sponsors (happy to have some to make my living out of it)

with promotion and on the side going to competitions and work on the car.

Some sound improvements, repairs (as you may know from my windshield problem)

and so on. Now there are the "finals weeks" and for three weekends I am out

to compete. Not really for the win, but for the fun and the best possible

result without concentrating Hardcore on every single competition.

Bc. I am doing Sound Quality AND different SPL Formats with different

installation rules its really heavy. So I got 3rd Place on the AYA Sound Quality

german finals last weekend with my TÜRANN. It was damn close to the

2nd place and not far away from the 1st. Very acceptable for me when I consider

that I have no Soundprocesser (EQ and time delay) and a car what does not even

start when other SQ cars (what have just a few sound points more) come to their end.

This weekend I have to go to the "SPL CLASSICS" Format, and next

weekend there are the world finals, as some of you may know.

I compete there in so much different compettiions that I lost oversight.

dB Drag : German and World Finals (and regionals)

dB Cup : German and World Finals

Bass Race : German, regional and hopefully World

dB Cup lite : German and World Finals

Man, thats starting fees of about 550 Dollars btw. ...

But then the quite time of the year comes.

I try to complete my apartement here.

Finishing the home cinemas and so on.

New computers (for 3D modelling and HD editing)

and making new plans for the next season bc

I am still sponsored for 2009 and hope that I do

my job so good that they want me longer than

this contract goes.

Thats why I am focussing on other, more important, things than

SPL Records or competition wins. I had that enough

in my life. Dont get me wrong, I still focus on BIG PERFORMANCE

of my cars, but they are more Music cars than any specialists

in SQ or SPL. For dB Drag I am at the moment at a

stable 158,4 dB Peak and at Bass Race at around 157,6 + -.

Together with the fine sound, its very ok. I still use about 9000

Watts of power and 10 9.0s are sitting here unused, what does

not please me very much. Maybe one day I will get the impedance

for the subs what I need. Who knows and who cares

Just want to tell and teach you all (of course some of you know already)

that there are way more important things than records or titles.

Maybe you can say that when you HAD them, but thats why I am telling

you this, in case that youre hunting them hardly. Just take out

the most possible fun for yourself and dont waste too much time

in things what just a handfull of people recognize in the world.

If its your goal, just go ahead. But believe me, it can be much

more fun without the pressure of competing and you can be more

successfull in life, or even in the competition circus, with a 2nd or 3rd

placing. Its always on YOU, the PERSON, not a score...

Ok, thats it for today.

Have fun !
