Even if my van is ready (which it should be), I dont know if Ill be competing. The fact that its inside and you cant run your car, and cant even demo is fucking lame.

I just wanna go, play my system, hear everyone elses systems, and party.

there will be demo vehicles outside im sure

g monk, you should talk with jracer and ask him who he talked to for his van to be staged outside last year.

But the question is, can people pull outside and demo at any time?

Whats the point of having a stereo show if you can't play your stereo?

i've been to sbn for over 15 years straight now. there is no way that all the cars competing will be inside..they will most likely have everyone park outside to wait to be judged. then you will get in line to go in and then back out after your turn. play it outside all you want usually

that maybe but how do they expect people to recharge batts after their runs? most have gas generators or leave their cars/vans running. to many people walking around with kids to have that many cars moving around in such a tight space to. if thats how they are doing it i bet it will be rethought next year.

Vehicles aren't allowed to be on.

People have to use battery chargers to keep their batteries charged. SBN has power drops but you have to pay for power. Basically everything has changed.

This is the first year that EVERYTHING will be indoors, so I guess nobody really knows how it's going to work out.

The one thing I'm most disappointed about is there is no more bassboxing at the bandshell. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif That's one of the highlights of SBN and it got killed off.

I have no idea. From the sound of things, cars have to be off all the time.

i don't know who's been runnin the show there but the 4 to 5 years the show has really gone in the crapper, atleast with manufacturers, it seems that the actual demo cars for all the big companies don't come anymore, its turning into more of what the local shops can turn out in their customers cars. its really sad to see this show kinda falling apart

This is happening at EVERY big show thats out there. There just no money and no return on investment for spending tons of money to have booths at these shows.

Low competitor turnouts and low spectator turnouts.

the people running the show have not changed..

they are the same people since day one..

as for the other stuff you mentioned, its unfortunate but there has been quite the decrease of manufacturer support and so forth. But that is not the fault of the show or promoters, its simply the way business is nowadays.

I've also been at SBN for the last god knows how many years and also see the signs of change, but it is what it is.

Have to make the most of it I guess
