NESPL Regular.. not decaf
The guys from Team Amplified Impressions will be loud next season too, I think they'll have every class covered with exception of the Super Stock classes.
oops I got all fired up should have read ONE more post! LOL @ myself //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif
I know the owners of the other major orgs know all about TNESPL. The owner of TNESPL is also the eastern rep for Kinetik batteries. They are known to host shows alongside dB Drags multipoint events as well. The St Judes show in June will be one of those shows, with a Drags/Bass Race 2X and a TNESPL 3X. They have a bigger turnout than Drags does. TNESPL is just as big here in the Northeast as MidWest SPL is in the midwest, which is pretty well known.
Steve, I'm familiar with McVey(sp). Back then, a few of us from drag started showing interest in IASCA. In fact, in 2006, I went up there and won "the best of New York series in adv. 2. I went up there unannounced to go head up with McVey but he didn't bring his van that day. I actually sandbagged that day because I wanted to show up again unannounced and go after McVey so I didn't want to show him my real number.
McVey always claimed to be the loudest in NY, when in all actuality, Jared and Shawn were louder and I think that there was a challenged issued but it never materialized.
McVey had a falling out with IASCA so they all quit and formed TNESPL. That part of NY was totally IASCA until the disagreement occured.
I've been to the LL Cool J car show with USACi NorthEast championships back at the Nassau Collisseum back a fews ago, that was a great show, about 7 hours //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif Maryland back to back 04/05 was easily 12 hours each way! PLUS ITS 6 DEGREES UP HERE RIGHT NOW!!! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/furious.gif.fc81ca146dbff91fede3ed290dbc4f4c.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif
I forgot you were there. If you remember, the L.I. dudes (Audio Garage) called out Manny in the extreme class. They went and got the same equipement we had and built an extreme vehicle to go after him.
Manny beat him by 10 db.
They put one of their guys in my class and I think I beat him by 6 or 7 db.
We (T Rex) never lost a show on L.I. and we use to do all of them. They couldn't stand us, lol.
We'll also be hosting at least one or two TNESPL events to help with points as well as several other soundoffs this coming season.
WooHoo, I won't have to run a show in New England, I may actually get to compete again, lol. Looks like I'm gonna have to get loud for next season.
Nate yes we were there, Terror Squad played on the stage and it was an overall good time. I have a BUNCH of pix from that show, even Manny's # //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif And I remember AudioGarage thinking they were loud but never brought the walk to go with the talk.
p.s. Nate, you probably forgot I was there because I didnt formally meet you until 05 in Keene NH at that night show //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

ya that was a sweat show 0-150 was on lock down. some sweet rides there that day what about scottys show when he tryed to drive away with the sensor Lol that is funny.
Where is Scott and who has that World Champion CRX box?
Ok, to get back to the actual topic of this thread. I'm not hearing from any of the Amateurs for 2010, and I know a few that I've told to get on here and voice their opinions. So as it stands right now, what you see listed for the Amateur classes is what you should expect to see for 2010.
As far as the Stock classes are concerned. What's the opinion of the sq inch limits, should they stay the same as they are listed now, or be changed back to the way they were last season? Except for Dave L, I'm willing to bet none of you even noticed the change in sizes.
The Super Stock 1 limits have changed slightly. Now a walled set up with two 18's will be in the same class as two 15's. The others have remained the same.
We also made a change to the Slammin Bass format, the battery limits were raised in all classes and Slammin 5 was eliminated. Unlike 2009, expect to see the Slammin format at most of our events in 2010.
i was going to look into four 12's for stock 4 but i'll scratch that idea now.
amateurs may not look to this forum as much as us "pros" lol... so maybe thats why the feedback is minimal.
as far as Scott, no I didnt even really meet Scott until 04 or 05, even though back in 2000 I think he showed up and did a USAC show at Sanford Sound with MY OLD CRX //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif aka his before I bought it lol (yeah Nate, the same crx that used to spank you back in the day) with two BMF 15's and an MMATS amp that he smoked at the show.
Toby has driven off with more Meters than anyone I know //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

I'm certified.
So the amateur power limitations are based purely on the amp used? For instance I've got a crunch 3000d that I'm running 2k off of based on dmm gain setting, but that would automatically put me into one of the stock classes since it's rated at 3krms?
i believe they can clamp the power to find it out if necessary... i believe when Mike H set a record up in NY he was clamped just below 2k for his class, i'm not sure what amp he had or what it was rated at though. Hope that helps.
Its based on the rated power, Mike's was clamped because it was a multi-point event for DB Drag and a class with a 2k limit. His amp was rated for 2k though...a DC 2k or whatever they call it.
Steve has expressed that clamping power is too time consuming and I think he's right about that.
I like the way the classes break down now with cone surface...it makes it correspond with TNESPL which will make it easier to go between the two orgs.
