I was thinking about how to draw more people to finals and thought, what if Wayne brought out the Terminator or Eruption to display.
Then it really hit me.

New Class
Legends Class.
World Finals only class
Invite legendary vehicles from the car audio world, dB Drag, IASCA, USAC, and anything else, to compete in an exhibition class at dB Drag Finals.
There will be no rules on vehicle build so we can have Eruption go head to head with The Boss Equilizer, and Wayne's Terminator go head to head with Tim Maynor's Blazer Terminator.
Competition will be multi part.
Start off with a Bass Race because all types of cars can fairly compete against eachother.
But then also show on showmanship during the bass race run and also jusge the vehicles presentation.
Maybe there will be a money pot from manufacturs donations and the winner can donate the pot to a charity of their choice. I am sure making it a charitable event can draw some mainstream attention.
Of course there will have to be criteria to meet to be considered a Legend.
Some examples would be
Big Jim
Eruption
Terminator Hearse
Terminator Blazer
Boss Equalizer
Boss Cannon
Gate's Beast
Gary Biggs Buick
Aaron Coles Rump Shaker
Braintley Waites Ford Van
Superior Sound Pinto wagon
MTX Tracker

I am sure I am leaving out a bunch of awsome vehicles but its a start.

Big Jim-still competes
Boss Equalizer-Last time I saw it it was gutted
Boss Cannon-I heard was sent overseas
Gate's Beast-Which one? Original was being rebuilt by Gabe.
Superior Sound Pinto wagon-Destroyed last I heard. Box rotted out the floor.

I know about Big Jim, he is a good friend of mine.

The Boss Cannon is empty but in California.

Red Gates Beast is in storage.

Didnt hear about the Pinto. That sucks

Would like to see the original Bronco if it comes back out.

Of course Jim is still a Legend. All current competing vehicles can be eligible as long as they meet other criteria.

Hope your pops is doing well Danielle.

I had a dream the other night that we were working on Big Jim and we put sliding doors on the front similar to Edge Audio's Ford.

Do you mean Jackhammer?
Nobody would want to use it anyway. not unless they want a 130 dB system.
