topic will probbly get closed, but if it does.... lol, at least a few people will see this... as a sugstion and if nothing else, if needed, just move it to the regular DbDrag section
we are stuck
to recap how to make street more inviting to newbies: # limiting power in street, can't make fewer batteries, can't limit physical size of batteries or amps, can't regulate amprage, can't count amps, can't caculate wattage..... # street / pro street ! move up rule, can't enforce it, no data bases, no method of tracking can be created ! logistics of it all, scores will be almost the same, OR (if pro street gets more options) PS will be SS/N-W, PS, will eventually, become WAY over populated, and we will need to make a PS1 nd a PS2.theres
GOT TO BE SOMETHING ELSE???? can we give up on beting the dead ideas into the ground now? We need to think "outside the box" and come up with something new.
the more I think about it, I think simply leave street alone (maybe make a smaller and bigger street class) and then simply make the SS clsses more inviting. getting rid of quads, helped, IMO. Is there anything else we could do? Get rid of floor cutting? NO battery boxes? Like in street, make a battery limit (to help limit power) maybe, one battery per sub? NO 16 volts? Making it ONLY one alternator in any sub SS5+ class?
I see street being WAY over populated, and it's not cause it's easier....it's not cause theres TONS of new people....it's because no one wants to move up, heck if anything (like me) they want to move down to street, cause SS is praticaly extreem with out the plexiglas.
NO JOKE, everyone says "you gotta pay, to play". 5 years ago, when the US economy was booming, that was SWEET!!!! but now it's NOT so good, meaning, VERY few people are going to go out and drop 20K on an SPL car, or spend thousands of dollars to trans port it. We, IMO need to tone DbDrag down a bit to help it, help it's self. AND, i belive we could easily STILL be the loudest organzation on earth.

good post, i agree with pretty much everything you said.
street is way too populated and needs a new class or two.
super street needs more limits to atract more people. cutting floors should stop, i'm not saying this to piss off people like the Rileys who have done it, but most new people arent willing to do it. im not against quads, im against 8 amps per sub in SS.

after rereading my post tonight, it kinda sounds like it....
the idea of limiting SS clsses was an idea, and everything I sugested were ideas as well. I know it sounds like alot, but I honestly think, that making SS more apealing would keep people like me, that is always close to finals, (but never make it, cause I don't have tons of cash to spend) from steping down to SS. I cn think of at least 2 other people that are doing the same thing.....it's not like we are newbies, but, alot of people can't aford SS classes right now, because of the way extreem, NON limits that it has.
I always thought SS stood for super STREET??? Now I am asking, "what makes SS, SS? They use just as much equipment as extreem, they do ALMOST as many mods...???wht is it? the glass, and a few more thousnd pounds to add to a vehicle that all ready weighs 4 times as much as stock....I am not seeing SS here.... I think "intent" of SS is to reat a "street vehicle" that has more instll options, becuse you can wall it off OR at least come up to the DJ's (NW).
maybe someone could reference this....but I am willing to bet, the weight of the "seriously equiped, and modded" SS vehicles is as much as almost any X vehicle....probably MORE, in some cases.
I know "no one" wnts more big changes, but if its so easy and so simple, someone come up with an idea that has no flaws to help keep us pros from having to come down and play in street.
