I wonder why? There is lots of speculation but that is the real truth? Economy? Are spl comps a lost cause? Fact is the numbers are down.....why?

i wish i lived by u so i can finally get 100points but i guess only california is show less, but if california has very little shows, i bet it wil spread , people are loosing intrest. I renember the days when a newbie went to show and took at least top 3, but now and day's they dont even qualify. maybe that is why. do u really want to go to a show and see the same guy win over and over and over, i doubt it. so the new guy just goes to a different organization. i can imagine now the same guy's going to finals and wining. woo hoo lots of fun. i think the one way to keep street p eople coming is to have like an beginer class or make all the people who competed in street fora year move up to a higher class. like that they wont dominate year after year. i know it isnt fair i wouldnt like it either but life isnt fair so deal with it. just my opinion not trying to offend anyone

i dont think it will be to hard to keep every car's vin# and system setup. i think it should be okay if they sell it to a freind, and compete with a different system

If they 'sell it to a friend' you will still have to go up against a pro. Back to square one there. Also, if the move up rule does go in effect, I would simply drop my system in a close friend's Rex.

Move up rule doesn't work.. that's why it was removed last year.. there is no accurate way to keep track without having a large database which again is what dbdrag does not want to do.. and there is no real way to totally police it..
