NESPL 2010 Rules discussion

If I remember correctly he did that # in the No-wall class, not a stock class.

lol the funny thing is I did less in SS no wall. I did a 154 in stock 3 and a 153.9 in SS no wall.

If someone wanted to build a Team SPL vehicle and compete with it using the team name, and not the name of a competitor then I might be willing to let that one go. Thing is I'm also looking at other things to do for the 2010 season like we did for 2009. Things like a points race, most improved SPL, Highest score of each class, etc, so if we allow a team vehicle then they wouldn't be allowed to use any scores obtained while using their team vehicle.

I had to go look that one up, I forgot you had done the Stock 3 class in CT. Ok, so you were the loudest of the season in the Stock classes.

It's several members of a team being able to compete with the same car. For example, if me and TJ are team members and he uses the Yugo at one show, then I show up with the Yugo at another show the next week.

HAHAHAH! Nate it sounds like you want to borrow a friends car to compete! Hey ya gotta do what ya gotta do homey.

So, Will I still enjoy being in the same class as Kieth?
And will I be bumped up to a higher class with the AQ2200?

Just keep that box below the window line and you can do the No-Wall class, otherwise yeah, you'd be in the SS 1 class. Power isn't an issue with any of the classes except the Amateur classes. You could try those, but the 2200 would be too much for the 2000 watt limit.

my point on why the power class should of been higher

[SPL Blazer]

I could raise the power for the AM3 class, but then when we run shows for TNESPL and someone that competes in AM3 tries to compete in Rookie 3 they won't be allowed to because of the 2000 watt limit. I think it would be easier for the Amateurs if they could compete in the same class in both NESPL and TNESPL. If I raise it then it would have to be to a 5000 watt limit, so they could still have a shot at being competitive in the TNESPL's WooferCooker 3 class, that has a 5K limit.

i would raise it to 3000w only dont worry about tnespl this is your rules and most people want to run your shows theres are to new to the area that most wouldnt care mush to run both at 1st.
or you can do 5000w like i said i think alot of people can get bigger amps kinda easy and can be ran with 2-3 batterys no problem i would really think about this.

Yeah, TNESPL will be new out here, but I will be promoting their shows and formats just as much as my shows and there are a decent number of guys looking forward to their shows coming out here so they can hit a Finals thats closer than Tulsa OK. This is a reason for my changing the Sq in limits on the Stock classes, they will match the ones for TNESPL. Plus, I'll be able to compete in the TNESPL shows. I've been talking about bringing them out here for months and have gotten a lot of positive feedback from the competitors about it.

The first couple shows this season may end up being TNESPL events, just to make sure people start getting their points. And since their Rookie class format is close to our Slammin Bass, I may end up running our Slammin Bass along with the SPL for those shows.

If an Amateur competes in more than 10 competitions regardless of the organization they will have to move up to the Stock classes the following season. As an example, If someone were to compete for a few years in dB Drags and competed in 25+ shows, then comes to NESPL as an Amateur that would be totally unfair to the real Amateurs.

Setting a limit on the number shows is to keep those that are gaining experience and getting louder and louder from staying back in the Amateur classes and taking home a trophy that should really be going to an actual Amateur. An Amateur being on a team makes no difference to the rules, they will be applied to everyone equally.

In TNESPL,Anyone attending events within another organization(dbdrag,iasca,etc...) in any prior season(s) and achieving 35 points or more in a season will not be considered a rookie.So i think 10 shows is more then fair.with that said steve,there is alot of buzz about nespl around here,looking forward to expanding with you.and just alittle fyi,the 1st show after the new year has been posted, http://www.teamnortheastspl.com/?page_ID=3

Thats a good rule, but where we didn't have a serious points run for the 2009 season none of our competitors could earn 35 points. Thats where the 10 show rule will help out for this season. We are looking into to some form of a points race for the season.

Just looked at the distance for that show, just over 7 hours from me.
