can somebody let me know the current records for idbl as i have looked at the iasca/idbl site and would like to know if those scores are correct as last week at our first official uk idbl event i hit a 164.9 and 164.6 in adv 361-720 so if these scores are correct does that mean i currently hold the record in this class???

but a GREAT percentage of people do not attend finals, which makes finals BS. if you go the whole year without anyone beating ur score, u hold the yearly record.

The problem is not how many shows you attend or where you live. The main problem at this time, and before, is the use of the Audio Control. I have been to shows within 100 miles of each other, ran by the same organization, and seen a 5dB difference between the mics. Both of these mics belonged to the same organization and both were in the same state. On another note, if you are loud enough to set a World Record in IASCA/IdBL then it should be easy enough to qualify. I beleive last season all you had to be was a member, or maybe it was the year before. Anyway, if you want to see records for the year then you have to get a mic system that will be consistent all year.

That may be the absolutely most retarded comment I have seen on any car audio forum---EVER. Congratulations on hitting an all time low.
Under your theory some moron in poduck nowhere who has a shop adjust the meter to give him a high score should be able to deem himself a world record holder. I have friends who own shops--I could go in there with 1 10" and walk out with a picture (on the dash) of 160 with the right adjustments to the meter. The organization would never know. I think that would be a record in Stock 1---wouldn't it? (in case you are wondering--I've seen it. I saw a high 140's from the trunk-- 1 10" (a low level Kicker)with only a few hundred watts---sealed enclosure. The show promoter wanted to give the shop owner something to brag about with his dailey driver. The promoter could have upped that score more very easily for the shop owner--but he wanted it to be somewhat realistic).
Finals is where the best of the best show up and compete. Winners get world records and titles. Sorry you feel that because you hit some score in the wrong class you should have some record---you don't. Get over it.

how can you call urself a world champ on going against a small number of people? maybe have IASCA use ONE mic, and travel it around. not fair saying to people on the west coast you have to drive 2000 miles to compete when ur numbers were good enough

What you are still not understanding is the Audio Control itself. It has knobs on the outside that could easily be changed simply by accidently bumping them. So even running around with one mic would still not work, that is with the Audio Control.
What you should look at doing is getting ahold of Paul at IASCA and get IASCA to switch to the Termlab so records and all could be set throughout the season. Look at how dB Drag is now, why do you think you can set a record at any 3x event and get a certified at any 2x or 3x show.
You question has been answered.
Edit: About being a World Champ with a small amount of competition. It is not the World Champions fault that other competitiors did not want to step up to the plate. Everyone has the same chance at making the show.

I have been competing for 13 years, so I know the whole routine. I can not speak for the people who live in Cali as I am not from Cali. I understand it's a long drive and all, but you have people who come to the dB Drag Finals from over seas, a much longer and expensive trip. So please do not start all this; oh Finals is here or there stuff cause at this time no one knows where IASCA Finals is gonna be. On another note. I have no clue how many locals went to Finals, do you? This post started about the World Records in IASCA/IdBL. Let's get back to subject at hand.

Jason - this is boominexplorer you're talking to. The guy who got banned by Wayne for telling all world champs, that they aren't world champs, because not everyone was there.
And he's talking out his fanny as to how the World Records go - they can be set at any 3x. That part of the database was locked down by a former employee and IASCA is trying to reconfigure and bring that information up to date. If there was a higher score in that class at SBN than the currently listed record from last year - the record is from SBN. It could well be beaten in three weeks at Steel Valley.
As for the termlab being used in IASCA - Audiocontrol financially sponsors IASCA events and is a manufacturer member. IASCA has also chosen to honor its contractual obligations to AudioControl as the sponsoring and official meter (I don't know that can be said as true of other organizations, but I'll digress on that rumor mill.) AudioControl has been working on (and it was beta-tested at SBN in several vehicles) a pressure-sensor that will retrofit to existing meters.
If IASCA sanctions and adopts the sensor, the records will likely be reset to the new meter following or at the first 3x event it is used at (again, likely to be Steel Valley in three weeks).
I hope this answers any questions you have, and puts any misconceptions to rest.
