What up fellas? Last time I looked we only had two scheduled for this month and that's it for a while. Why is Florida so dead this year? I'm not sure if it's like this for many other highly competitive States, I just noticed this one 'cause I live here [Wink] .

We're ROCKIN' and ROLLIN' in the Midwest ...

David has been doing alot of 3x's lately and will be traveling out of state for a 2x. I know it makes it harder to do multiple 1x events during a weekend when you have larger events to do.

Give it time, Florida is one of the hot spots for dB Drag! If you build it ... dB Drags will come!

Fl stacked with events. I counted 2 for this month and none for the rest of the year (may have overlooked some, I dunno)
Unfortunately, the ones that I saw are to far for me to go with the condition my car is in (tranny slipping), plus being broke [Frown]

Anyone can do what I'm doing. All you have to do is draw some interest in this form of car stereo competition. Retailers have to understand the benifits of hosting events. Thats all that has been done here in the midwest!

So go out and make it your mission to get more and more shows! Its all up to you. GOOD LUCK!

I compete in Street A, this is my first year. The only events I ever see are like 5-6 hours away from me. And there aren't much at that this time, well in this month and the upcoming months I guess...

Yea, I wish there were some events in south florida. The only thing within two hours from miami and fort lauderdale are whitlee shows, a few iasca events and this new one Bald Man Audio. Of the three Bald Man Audio would probably have to be my favorite and even those are scarce.

Get in contact with me if you want to get some shows going in S. Fla.

I have a termlab.net. we just need to get some retailers to want to host events. I'll bring the meter.

Below - there's a show coming up in 2 weeks about 2 hours from Jax. It's also about 2.5 hours from WPB.

All last year Chris and I spent every weekend (it seemed) on the road going to shows and so did a lot of others. You burn out after a while. There are fewer shows, but they have a better turnout.

I think Divine Sounds will have a few 1X shows soon, so you want shows please guys go to them if not next year it might get worst.Support the few shows that will be host this season, if you love DB DRAG show your support to the people that make this shows happen. So this weekend go to E&E in Bradenton, the following weekend go to Sanford and then just wait for the next shows. Well only if you truly love this sport and want your points. [Cool]
