What class to compete in?

[PESteele 10+ year member]

well im still debating between being more serious in bass race or dbDrag. I think bassrace may be more fun but it seems like theres not very many comps w/ it

ok yeah im def more interested in bass race. What class do you think id be in in that car. Is there a limitation on batts and if the cars running and amps in bassrace.

according to termpro it looks like 146 to 157 for the top 25 last year in the US

should do 1-2 no wall but depends on a few things too....talk to adam he could tell you what / how competitive the scores locally will be

The rules are on Termpro.com
2 18" BTL's

4 SAZ-1500's Bridged

2 Badass Deepcycles

That will put you in SM 1-2

Wrong!!!!

You can only run ONE battery in its factory location in SM1-2 (not that I would know anything about it) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Street C to be decent (I think) would be 156+

SM1-2 157+ (not many Americans can break a 158 for some reason)

Bass Race and db Drag are definately two different animals. For Bass Race you can just throw in pretty much anything and be competitive (Unless you wanna knock the King of Bass down then good luck). Bass Race is all about reaction time and controlling the volume knob. db Drag is well......db Drag. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I thought SM 1-2 was allowed a stock battery and one other... I may be thinking SS.

Anyway. Bassrace is more fun and most competitions that have dB Drag will have bassrace usually. At least here in FL. Depending on how much money you want to spend will depend on what class you will be in. 139.9 is probably the easiest to get into but also has the most compeditors in multiple point events. 119.9-139.9 classes are all extremely compedetive and very fun. 149.9 is where you get into the big boy leauges. 149.9 classes take walls of or some seriously loud hatches.

There is no electrical system or woofer or amp or wall restrictions in bassrace. It is basically controlling your system to try to get as close to the 9.9 as you can with out busting. This takes practice and timing on the start. I can do mid 140's on music but I got a late start and barely managed to brake 138 this past sunday. Lost by 0.4dB. If you want to do SM 1-2 you can make a port plug to lower tuning (but cutback on port area) and still be able to run in 139.9, depending on how loud you can still get/magnatude of your system maybe even 149.9. Be werry that 149.9 compeditors can do mid 150's on music, they play no games.

Pure Pressure's van from Gainsville was 149.9 world champ with a bunch of MT's and Hifonics amps IIRC. Now he is doing 159.9 and has and ungodly large number of Fi SSD's. I wasnt counting but it was like a half clamb shell of Fi SSD's and then a row of them on top and bottom. Some kid walks up and pokes the guy and says "how do you breath in that van?" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

OK back on topic...you can run SM 1-2 and make a port plug and still run in 139.9. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

In any of the street classes you have to be around 154 +.Or 157 ish if you plan on even having a chance at a first at finals.IIRC someone just did a 158.? in street A.It's not really fun anymore for new competitors.

Meh. dB Drag is still fun if you dont plan on placing at finals. Hit up a few 1x and 2x competitions a year and have fun building it...anything else you better be getting sponsored.

I'll be building a db drag vehicle soon enough that'll own most local competitions (most likely, I've yet to see anyone break a 150 in any of the street classes here) around here. But finals //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif oh well.It's a nice dream anyway.I'm not rich enough. . . . .

In street classes you aren't allowed to be sponsored.I think they need to create a lower set of classes or redo some of the rules.You shouldn't need to spend $12k in equiptment to be able to go to finals IMO.

I've got the same plans. I'm lucky enough to live in an area where mid 40's are tops for street a-c (except for one crx, but its up for sale). I'm just going to try and build a system for fun and local comps, nationals is something my pocket book can't afford (my skillz are lacking about as bad as my pocket book too).

Hopefully if I keep piecing things together I might be able to accomplish something next year.

You don't need 12 grand to be competitive on a national level.

Street A.

2 strong amps used or competitors cost = 2000 for both

1 NSB90 = 230 shipped to your door

2 10's used or competitor cost = 400 - 1200 for both

1/0 gauge wire = 100-500

wood = (however much dedication you want to put into it)
