I think there should be an extreme bassrace class for 2010.
The extreme guys spend so much time and money on getting their vehicles to the shows just to be able to burp their score then put it back on the trailer. Ive personally never seen an extreme vehicle demo at all.
The extreme bassrace class should be one single open class IMO aswell where the vehicle just plays flatout for the highest averaged SPL over 30 seconds.
Maybe even with one or both doors wide open aswell.
I think there should also be a frequency cap of 50 hz to make things more interesting. And also maybe should require some front-stage speakers be installed on the OUTSIDE of the vehicle as most of the extreme installs obviously wont have frontstage inside the vehicle...nor would a front stage speaker be able to withstand pressures inside that style cabin.
The goal of this class would be to give extreme competitors the ability to compete in more than one class per show and thus make extreme a more desireable class to build for.
Hopefully this could bring more of the older extreme cars out of the woodwork too and back into the lanes.
Any thoughts?

Maybe the class should give guys that bass race a place to play out side of extreme. I know 1st hand to play in super street and bass race a loud number it will destroy the vehicle with out reinforcements. So to be able to demo we are forced to make changes that force us into extreme.
How many extreme cars are built to play music all day ? How many are tuned low on purpose ? How offen do spectators get to see these vehicles ?
There were 4 159.9 vechiles at finals,2 were not super street legal. There were only 3 true extreme cars.
I really don't think giving extreme cars another class is a good idea. If old extreme cars want to come back maybe they should just play in bass race. After all how many old school extreme builds could pass current rules AND could still be competitive with today's extreme numbers.

I wouldnt worry about a true extreme car wanting to play in this area. They are specifically tuned to within 1-2 hz. Once you play just 1 or 2 hz outside of the peak, the score drops off and believe it or not is extreme harsh on eqipment. I tried to play a song that was very close to my peak in my Blazer but it fell on its face.

Don't worry...There are many "songs" that bass race cars play and have a strong peak frequency...
I would suggest that the dbdra should consider to reopen the 160-169.9 class... It's that simple...Also the use of a CERTIFIED BASS RACE is CRUICAL if you ask me AT LEAST IN MULTIPOINT EVENTS...

what is a "certified bass race"...are you referring to the disk
Yes i saw that word was missing just now...Excuse me...
A certified Bass race disc must be implemented in the rule book...That is all...
Also I don't know of any extreme cars that can play below 50 Hz...

The difference back then and now is free or next to free equiptment. I think thats why lots of extreme compettors don`t demo now. When every burp counts, testing or at shows, I know we cant afford to play @ 30hz when were limited to around 30 burps before a recone. But to bring back old extreme vechicles, i dont think hardly any would come out. I know loading and unloading an extreme vechicle is a pain in the butt, gas, traveling expensince, ect. IMO there isnt enough people who are in the 159.9 class anyways to bring out a new class for 160 plus. Mabye in time as newer people join and vets step up to a bigger class.

Even If i havnīt got an extrem car, i think this is a great idea. But in germany there will be a problem with the cert. bass race disc. Because wich issue will be certified in the running season.
I can say, that at the time of Big Okis Mammut Üüühh in 2009 I was the only competitor in germany with the Bass Race cd No. 4, and only because I got it from one of the french guys.

I got my Bass Race 4 from Denmark in June or July, because the Swedish org didnīt sell them.... I was the only one in Sweden that had Bass Race 4, until people started to complain that it wasnīt fair that I could use a disc that nobody else had, (remember that ONLY Bass Race 3 or 4 are allowed in Sweden) and that was one of the reasons why the Swedish rule about only using the Bass Race cdīs was introdused. Before some compeditors was using a track by Scooter and the Swedish org claimed that the cd was hard to get.. The truth is that it was easier to get the Scooter disc than the Bass Race 4 disc
Last year they said that the Bass Race 3 or 4 had to be used in 2009 because it was to easy to make a 1X9.9 with a own track... Well at a big show in August there was A LOT of re-runs because of people doing 1X9.9 with the Bass Race discs, so making it a must to use the Bass Race discs donīt help.. Did anyone get supriced by that? Well I didnīt...
Itīs still the guys that partice the most that wins. Belive it or not Like in every other sport. I guess it had to come as a shock for "some" in Sweden, and I guess that "someone" that claimed that all the time had right
P.S If you like you can change "someone" to "I", "Kim" or "Extra Kim"
