First topic message reminder :

Greetings,

Sound Quality as a whole has dwindled in numbers for quite some time. We as sound quality enthusiasts have been fighting amongst ourselves to try and get things changed to help get the word out to try and pump up the numbers at shows.

We have tried rule changes, we have tried removing SPL and RTA, we have taken out power classes, and none of these have worked. Now we need to do some foot work to try and get the word out to our local shops, some manufacturers and even to some national media that Sound Quality competition is not just a bunch of guys throwing speakers and amps in a car to make them go boom! No offense to SPL guys, you guys are awesome at your craft.

We are enthusiasts that are more closely related to audiophiles. The public needs to see that. We have clean installs that show off the product (aka manufacturers products) that produce the sounds that is pleasing to the ears. We have installs that are pleasing to the eyes, and our cars, most of them, are also show quality rides.

It has been proposed by Mr. Scott Buwalda that someone needs to take the reigns and get some phone calls out, shake some hands of execs, and put the word out about our sport.

Those that have stepped up to the plate:

Joe Wallis
Brian Souter
Chris Pate
Jimbo
Val (autosoundtex)
Jason Owens
Marquies Weaver
Ruperto Aguilar
Gary Biggs
Mark Eldridge
Nick Wingate
Rob Rice ( Car Toys Tulsa )
John Sketoe

This will be a part time position, no pay, and no recognition. You will be treated just like any other SQ competitor. We don't do this for fame, but rather to promote our passion for this sport/hobby.

Will you step up to the plate and join us?

Please reply to this thread and be serious. I will ask that all non serious posts be deleted by a moderator. We need to get the ball rolling on this. Also, since SQ is a global thing, some of the Mexico guys, USAC europe, any of you guys are also very welcome to join up with us. All are welcome!

Looking forward to sharing this hobby to the world with you!

Joe Wallis

great job.
anything i can do to help , please feel free to ask .

I had a brain fart this evening and had an epiphany.

Sonic Drive In Corporation is based out of Oklahoma City Ok. I just thought that maybe if I can get in to speak with their promotional guru, I could pitch this idea.

Have a SONIC Series! At designated locations around the USA (Wherever Sonic is located) get with them to hold a Car Show/Sound Quality sound off. Have a local BAM audio shop sponsor the show, and have it at the Sonic Drive In's. This would mean excellent sales for the Sonic, the sponsoring shop could bring out some product to sell, and we can get a few judges to come out and judge the cars.

USAC can be a part of this and all entry fees go back to USAC.

It is a win win situation for everyone. Possible specials on food, drinks, and the exposure for Sonic, the Brick and Mortar and USACi for car shows and SQ comps.

If this sort of thing can happen, who is to say that a major corporation in your neck of the woods might be able to do the same thing. All this is is Marketing..it isn't rocket science.

Any ideas on this? I am open to suggestions. Also, I wouldn't mind if there were some Mover's and Shaker's that might want to go in and talk with them with me.

Discuss!

That is not a bad concept. I know the Sonics up here hold hot rod nights on Fridays during the spring and summer time. No granted they are not comps but they draw crowds.

Joe I am whiling to help put something together and if I can get off work to go to Sonic.

We need to put something together like a Slide Show for a pitch.

I will call you today.

Works for me brother. BTW, do you still want to make the trek to T-Town?

I would like to join in and help in any way I can.

Whataburger is another idea. Here they have a cruise night once a month and it attracts tons of cars. I will ask around to see if this is a possibility.

Hustler magazine also started her in oklahoma.... imagine the bikini contest?!?!?!?!

Hustler staarted in OK?

sorry wrong hole

so how do we get fairness? hmm...set three judges/judging teams in the car and take an average. This eludes to a circle jerk of judging that takes all afternoon to judge 20 cars at a local show...yeah, that's how my first MECA show went. I didn't enter...I just observed.
I don't know guys...we have to have judges in place that we trust. We have to trust Ralph and Tim at Finals to put the right judges in the right places. So let's get a larger judging pool with trustworthy people in the pool and then trust mgmnt to put the right guys/gals in the right places at Finals.
Local shows...lol...I don't know how to help there...I still go back to the shop providing the judge...it's their event, they will want it to be a success.

How did anything about judging get into the SQ Committee thread.

Way Way off topic in this thread.

Can someone fix this.

Hit the wrong button sorry about that

I just responded to Rob...I don't care if it's here or not.

You go boy...John is a Rebel without a clue!

Thanks for the help John.
