it is nice to see company's supporting db drag racing how about we take it to the next level
newcomers cant compete in db drag if they have never heard about it
so how about company's make a small add in every manual they make for every component they make/sell so every guy or girl who buys car audio stuff and reads the manual will also see and know about db drag racing
there's only 1 way to get more people in db drag and thats more publicity

x2 Peter i like that idea some already do that over here like American bass on the amp boxes i thing its there.
Sound Stream I know there are a few out there that do do this.
I think what should happen is if your new and you can prove it of if ya call a hed of time to get some confrmation they should give a card so you can get in to yor first 3 Shows Free I know Some other orgs are doing this.

Only problem with that Peter would be if a Manufacturer is supporting multiple organizations it could get pricey to put another 10 page pamphlet in every piece of equipment sold ya know?
I do agree its a GREAT idea though to get the word out

I'm sure something along this line would have a impact that would incress new competitors.
It also wouldnt hurt if a class like street stock gets the rules hammered down that companys can sell amps and subs listing this as suggested gear for the class. This would give people a reason to show up knowing that they have a place to compete.

We originally had the db drag logo put on the artwork for our amps packaging but wasent sure if we had to pay DB Drag to use it so we removed it. Wayne should jump in here and let us know about it

I basically support that idea, but there are some problems coming with it also.
For our AYA SQ Format we try to do that sincs some years. But what if a sponsor just support an organisation for one year? Then there will be still boxes (what have to be designed and manufactured in high quantities) with that logos. What will it cost to use the logo?
We decided to go with stickers. So you just can put them on as long as the companies supoort the orgs. Sure, it is a bit of work to put them on manually. But they are uniform and can be produced in very high quantities for very cheap.
If the companies decide to put them fix into manuals or onto boxes, they should accept that they do advertising until these boxes are sold, and the orgsmust accept that there will be their logos on boxes and manuals or whatever, even if these companies are not supporting anymore. For what reason ever.
ALSO possible is a little flyer what will be added when the products are packed at the factories, or when they go out of the warehouses. But lots of huuuge companies like Maxxsonics have huge quantities of products being produced and shipped out the whole time. That is an amount of additional work, what must be calculated in peoples payments...
Good idea, sounds simple, but isnt unfortunately. But after all, not impossible.

what if wayne just give the permision to company's to put it in the manuals without making money on it dont see this as an extra sponsorship to db drag more like a helping hand to keep the sport alive that we all love so much
then only the company's that realy want to do it can add it in the manual to put the add extra in the manual is not gonna cost alot to the company's sometimes there is a blank page inside so it can be used for the add

Rusty,
Thats your right as a supporting manufacturer that pays a yearly membership due. This is why we pay, so we can utilize the logos and artwork, which benefits manufacturer and organization. The logo should be placed on your packaging.... same goes for Usaci and Iasca and Meca. That's why there is such a service as supporting member industry affiliate. We use all four and CEA and CE.
Get what you pay for my friend!
