Re-Invention of SPL competition

[HHR Ed]

Actually I have talked to Steve earlier this year, and we may work together next year on some things.

The ideas are just not refined yet and I need help with that.

I need to put a cost analysis together of what it would take to throw a show the way I want. Anyone know how much it is to rent an ampitheater or something like that?

I think we need a big time sponsor. Any company that is involved in our demo-graphic. Could be X-Box or Nike, anybody with $$ to help throw a series of events and televise them.

speaking of x-box, and sponsors, I would like to see a game, where you design your box, system, and pick a car, and for frequency you have to hit the keys hella fast to gain a higher frequency, lesser times for a lower frequency

lol... well, that would be sweet

Dont know how that would be done on Wi

I like how Pychlone has came out, thats a fun ass comp there

televised would be the SHIIIT

local channel, or ESPN, something

i remember when Hi-Fi-Buy's used to host spl event's and Circuit City, in the lat 90's. i loved to go to the show's because most of them where local, and anyone off the street could enter. Here in Atlanta the only thing we have now is Nopi, and that's once a yr. I miss those days

I think some of what has been lost in competitions is the fun. Rule changes and isolation of real store customers has hurt the sport.

The return on investment for a store owner has been lost in the focus on why a shop would host a show. Some of this is the promoters fault, some the shop owner.

if you want mass media exposure then you need to show why people would want to watch. It would be a hard sell to show a 30 sec run of either burps or bassrace runs over and over each week. What we do is harder to convey on screen then it is in person.

i definitely give you props for doing this. the whole youtube channel and stuff. that's awesome

Have you ever seen the show pass times on speed? Maybe you can do something like that as well. I mean, to most people, drag racing isn't all that exciting to watch, but building it up like they do at pass times by showing lots of cars, having the owner explain whats in it, have an expert make a guess on the speed (or spl in your case) and have two regular enthusiasts try to beat him for money. That seems like it would be more interesting then just seeing cars try to make a bigger number appear on a screen. I mean, I know that was your idea to make it more interesting with back stories and show how they got there, which all sounds awesome as well, but this can be just another part or even or something.

you can do something like past time like guess the db level and win some money or something like that but the main thing you need is a big time sponsor i know it's already been said in the thread but its so true and if i ever see any spl style event on tv that would be insane and i would watch it all the time
