congrats tommyk for winning nationals though
do you get a ring for that, or just for WF

I get a leather jacket for winning nationals.

And there's an interesting thread on termpro about WF. Apparently the guy I went against from europe didn't have the necessary points to compete in the national or world event, but somehow he made it all the way through.

Nobody is sure what's gonna happen yet.

its hard to bassrace if you dont even know where the other guy stands....

cool

"Bring it"

if there are any ?'s or tips i can give you, id be glad too.

if you cant get any practice runs in wherever you compete, redlight your qualifier and let it rip the whole time, that way you know if you can even run a 49.9

Because if you cant run a 49.9 on a redlight, then you cant run it on a perfect start either.

x2 on that. If you can't get up to a 152-153 on music then 149.9 is going to be pretty much impossible unless you get a dead on perfect start every time.

my max average on music, sealed up for 30 seconds is 151.0 db

its not hard to run that perfect score, but if i were to get a late start, id never catch up

my starts arent perfect, but they are close

can i do it with the car off?

i doubt it

Tommy, did they make you turn off the cars while running?

You only have to turn your car off after 2 ties.

That would probably kill a lot of people's scores. Especially if you have to run 2 or 3 times back to back. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Sitting in Tommy's truck with his new subs is absolutely INSANE...

It was more fun just not having to rebuild 12 subwoofers this weekend. Thank God for subs that can take abuse!

uhh....ok

I am referring to the fact that everytime we go to world finals (or any major show that Tommy is at), we had to rebuild at least 12 of his subs. This weekend, we had 2 sub failures. NO sub failed due to a coil loss, spider tearing, glue releasing, or ANY of the reasons the old subs did EVERY SINGLE TIME he ran his truck at a major show. Matter of fact, I never smelled that dreaded stench of burned coil the entire weekend!

The King of Bass subs held up very well. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I remember tommy launching those SE's all the time.

SO the "king of bass subs" are specifically designed for Tommy?
