Congrats to all who placed in the event, keep it up!


NOW for the bone picking!

Just another reminder that we simply MUST get started at 9.30 so can we all do our best to be there before 9am so we can get things organised in time.

Judges will be there at 8.30am

I would like to know why COMPETITORS are TOLD to be at event at XX:XXAM SHARP and turn up when they feel like it or what ever the reason?

Regardless what the circumstances it's NOT fair on the ones that do the right thing and make a day of it and others feel they are 'special' so to speak and have their own rules.

I'm not having a go as I had the face to face with the competitor I personally know (again, not having a go at you PC, but rules are rules). I think either the rules are their to be followed or they miss out on that event.

What are peoples thoughts on this?

Also, the rules need a bit of ironing out as they are really silly to certain aspects. i.e. sub bass control. Most mid to high end decks have on board and competitors DON'T need to have a seperate one to the one ALREADY controlling the sub gain.

In my eyes, judges should be upto date with product features and SHOULD know whether a unit has a sub gain or not. That mentioned, it's beside the point anyway as the 'RULES' state that NOTHING can be altered apart from volume control use so that rule should NOT exist...

I invite others to comment on what they feel isn't what it should be. I know this might open a can of worms, but I feel that the rules don't work for the events. I might not be competing at the moment as I'm still to find time to do my system, but if I was to compete I would like a few things changed with the rules...

Take this with a grain of salt as it's the way I feel as people are not awarded points where they deserve them awarded.

Again, GREAT day, judges ROCK Hopefully we get more NEW faces next event!!!

A top day.

A bit more freakin competition in Amateur street would've been appreciated

I finally get my system where I want, set my highest score yet, and I was only competing against one car which usually runs SPL.... needless to say it wasn't the circumstances I wanted to get my first win in, but I am fairly confident I could've beaten most of those who have beaten me in the past

I'm very disappointed that we've gone from 8 cars in Amateur Street to 2. Very disappointing, where the hell were all those who attended last comp?? What else are you going to do on a sunday afternoon

I'm still happy about my result, but I did want some serious competition so that I could see how my car compared.....

Oh well. A very fun day either way. Huge thanks to the judges and Penrith Autobarn, of course Hopefully there will be some more competition. This was a double points event afterall, it's so ridiculous that I am pretty much guaranteed of taking out the state title, and I'm the ONLY car which has attended more than one of the three events so far.

uni assignments

i'll make an appearence once I get a few things ironed out in my car.

DIY tuna (tuning) on a saturday night after detailing the car probably isn't enough to warrant me competing.

neither does my front stage

anyway, sounds good... ranking and points would be nice.

thats logical, if competitors are going to have points removed for this, they should kick up a stink!

would this mean that if I compete, I should have a remote sub bass controller installed?

yeh i was 1 of da new faces there i think, as i was a bit lost, so was my friend, i had no idea what was going on and how they were judging it but it was a great experience, i saw some nice cars and some guy told me sumthing bout some part of the car so i jst nodded my head cos i didnt understand! i was da guy with the afro with the beigh skyline by the ways! but overall it was a great day! i expected 2 hear some systems but they must judge some other way, that was the 1st comp ive been 2 and i liked the cars and the system! the blue rex was nice, icacha luv ur wheels man! matchs the car great!

dat was my view on the day!

Big ups to Penrith Autobarn for hosting the event. Much appreciated.

[medion]

A BIG thanks to Penrith Autobarn, and the judges for yet another great competition.

It was great to see two of the judges (Marty and Ben) cars go head to head in Pro Street. It was nearly staple guns at 20 paces.

Sad to see so few competitors considering it was a double points event.

What's the exact rule and where is it written?

[Middle Man]

Awesome day - great catching up with the regulars and seeing some new faces

Big thanks to Autobarn and the judges

Oh and very pleased (read: scared) to see Jimmy clipping at my ankles with the scores.......yikes!!!

Well done mate, you've got to be mega proud with your system - seeing as though you didnt get someone else to install it (as you like to put it) hahahaha

I was planning on making some final adjustments to my system and being there today in ameteur street. Unfortunately I just started a new job a month ago, so there were a few things with pay consistency I had to sort out, so funding didnt allow any major changes.

Alas, I did upgrade my sub amp, and retuned my system, and had the car ready to go on friday. In fact, I even bought the Sheffield CD the week before

Unfortunately, I could only get one weekend day off, and it was a choice between attending the FHRX subwoofer BBQ on sat, or the comp on sunday.

In the end, i was needed for work on sunday so i ended up going to the BBQ instead. Needless to say you dont wanna take too many days off in your first month in a new job

It's sad there wasnt more of a showing. At No Limit the Showing was excellent, particularly in Ameteur street, and the competition is what made me want to strive to upgrade my system more (as well as a love of music of course).

Although I don't have a chance at the title right now (missed the first even also this year because my car wastn prepared), i will still try my best to make the next event.

Planning on making some of those major upgrades i had planned for this comp, so hopefully I'll be able to give you a bit of a challenge It's all in the name of fun!

If thigns arent all up to spec by then, i'll try to make it with what ive got just for the heck of it anyways. I know its much less fun to win when it's by default.

Kudos on the sucess anyway, and im sure even if there was a higher turnout, you still would have enjoyed similar results.

If I dont have my upgraded system ready by the next comp, then i'll be making damn sure that it's right where I want it to be in time for CAASQ 2006, and this time I wont miss a comp. Will either be going pro street or ameteur depending i guess on whether I qualify for ameteur (may decide to go active).

Anyways, good to see some constructive criticism, as it often helps to improve thigns. Only way a weakness can be solved is if people are aware of it.

Sorry again I couldnt be there to make the event more interesting, as I very much wanted to be.

When and where will the next comp be held?

Cool, thanks

May not be enough time to save for major mods, but i'll do what I can.

Most of what I have is up for comp duty, but my front stage is really my archilles heel. I'll try to get it sorted by next comp.

Also have two mates hoping to have their systems ready to go in time for the next competition.

Both systems are in planning at the moment, and i've no doubts that both will be very capable.

I have plenty of upgrades planned for my own system, but realistically 5 weeks only leaves me an opportunity to make one major upgrade, and maybe a few little ones. Gonna have to make the most on the install and tuning side of things.

If i get it sorted, then hopefully that'll be anotehr three legitimate contenders in Amerteur Street class

If not, then both cars (as well as mine) should be in full operation in time for 2006 season.

Marc, theres no such rule? Then you might have to take it up with the judges as there are a few unhappy people
