To say that Collosus XX is ok, just for it is one hit sink with two boards. And the boards don’t work by them self. Is like saying that US Amp USA-6000 is Ok? It has two boards that don’t work by them self. Read the rules and use common sense. That should take you a long way.
And I also think that it is a stupid rule. If you can by the amp as a single amp, it is a single amp. I don’t care if it is 1 board or 10. As long all can by it as a single amp. Not home made and special for just sum guys.
I can understand that you guys are upset on this.
But I can tell you that Euro finals 2003 was no game. Wayne told us that we have the wrong Mic position, and the position that we ware using was the same that US judges was using. Then he told us that "they have dunned it wrong". And he also DQ one car for not playing loud @ the qualification. I can go on and on what we in Europe have to do and accept from judges and Wayne.
And then we go to the World finals and se cars that should have been DQ @ a Euro final, go up in the lanes and compete and win. Haw do you guys think that we file. It is not Ok in Europe but it is Ok in US. Is that right?

for instance:
i know of at least one competitor who ran amps in street class that even though the competitor treated the amp as a single amp, the amp case houses 3 boards, not just 2. and you know what, even though the competitor's vehicle was judged, that amp never came into question. you can look at the amp and tell it either has alot of wasted space inside, or a lot of electronics. but there was never any question about it. why? because they already accomplished their mission. case closed.
What amp? What class?

And why do you think that alot of the big name guys in NY dont run db drag any more. Too much polotics. JMO I hope there isnt ne big prob. at IASCA finals this year, being my first year going to ne finals
Not to get too off topic but IDBL would have the same problems if there were more then the current 200-500 total competitors. The rules are so vague(sp). I bet you that there will be more bs at IASCA finals then dB Drag withthe 16 volt rule in stock. SO dont come on to a dB Drag forum and start preaching IDBL.

well of course, but it´s about the same situation. everybody of us knew that this would be a question and so we took alternative amps with us. of course not everybody has this possibility, but as i explaines on my other post, you should be prepared "on this high level of competing" actually i want to say that i don´t know terry himself and maybe calling him a cheater is the wrong thing. so sorry for this too hard words

quote:No one is bitching about the legality of the amp. You guys were told immediately that the SPL-D would not be allowed, allowing plenty of time for a change. At least your judges gave you a heads up in advance. I respect your judges.
that´s not true. on european springbreak the decission to count the ext4000d as two amps was made on friday by the judges. nobody knew how they would decide because the part with the amps / the list of the amps in the new rulebook didn´t exist at this time! so we were told on friday that those kind of amps are not allowed / count as 2
and by the way: PRETENDING not to know that the colossus is 2 amps is cheating. just think about that!
look dude now your just going to far. Terry did not know the amp had 2 boards or that it was illegal. he just bought the amp a couple of weeks before finals.
THINK ABOUT IT
why would someone who accomplished more then he ever has, would try to cheat.
this same amp was used all year long. so why would he question if was legal. this amp does not have a see though case such as a us amp ... so how would he know that it had 2 boards ... and the pic that was put up here does not show 2 boards to me. the less then 1/8" space betwwen the 2 boards i saw at finals told me.

Nate,what I think he's tryin to say is that we "Pretended" to spend $1500 for the amp. he's also tryin to say that everyone who competes must have an advanced knowledge of electrical components. If you look inside the "invisible" section of the 2004 db drag rule book ,It's right in there to see...
