State records

Ive got the pdf file of state records and I was wandering what the local A and local B classes consisted of. Is it just a class for noobs. I havent seen any rules for it so is it a class I could possibly get in since scrapin the coast will be my first one.

I want to say its for non members at local shows, but not sure. Anybody?

Well i know two of the guys that hold Local a,b,c records, and i'm pretty sure those guys aren't usaci members. From my understanding it is a free'd classing system in which the judge can determine the limits of each class. I think your right about it being a newb class but i do not know what in the past has determined which Local class you are placed in.
BTW that .pdf is long overdue for an update.

Also, you don't have to be a member to compete in the regular classes.

I just figured I could get a feel for the competition atmosphere in the local classes and see if I would like to move to another class. The box I have now should be able to do high 140s maybe a 150.

What kind of car and setup is it?

02 ext cab silverado, half wall below window line, 2 atomic quantum 15s, 2 kinetic 2400 in back, kinetic 1400 in stock location, atomic 1600.1

Run superstock 0-600 and be done with it. No reason to run the local classes.

Facepalm, never mind, you said SUPERstock... so continue..

OP, if you don't mind making a little drive, why don't you come to IFO Belle Rose, its in a few weeks, a handful of us will be there, and you can test the waters.

Was thinking about goin to belle rose but it just so happens the wife already made plans for that weekend. Does anybody know of anybody down this way with a term-lab, to use or to buy?

Destined to fail already....


Letting the wife make plans, shame on you.

I asked my wife if she wanted to go with me, she said nope, so no worries on my end. She can't hardly make it through a 6 hour car show, i don't know what is gonna happen at scrapin this year.. geesh..

I'm sure there is someone down there with a TL, i have an SPL Labs that is very accurate, but i'm 3 skips up the road.

Haha yeah i know but at least she lets me have my toys, she even told me if I couldnt find a used tl that I could just buy a new one

nice, well you can always try to get a hold of Greg Miller and if he is not busy, meet up with him and meter. He lives in Gulfport.

That would be fine with me. The closest meter to me that I know of is like 5min from me but its a audiocontrol and they have to get it from their gulfport store and usually they forget to get it. Theres a termlab at audiowave which is about 20min away but the guy that did the testing doesnt work there anymore and they dont know how to run it. How hard is it to use a termlab? I was actually thinking about makin them an offer on buying it from them. Id learn how to use it and go to them when somebody wants to test.

To be honest, i think there are a few guys on here down on the coast with TL's, but its not right for me to volunteer them, but they may offer. If a TL is like my SPL Labs, you just simply open the software on a computer and set up a few variable, and run it.

I used my SPL labs with my pc maybe 2-3 times, but it also is wireless and works with my Android phone, so i only have to carry around with me my Motorola Milestone X and the small sensor, and thats it.
Is Audiowave still there? I did a Usaci show there back in 2005 but i haven't been back to Gautier since then. Just a little FYI, if you do buy a used TL, i see them go for $400-$500 often used, sometimes little more little less.

Yes audiowave is still there. And how much was your spl lab? And would it work with a galaxy s?

I got it on pre-order back in October, it was $409 total. I downloaded the free spl labs app on my phone and all i have to do is turn the meter on, open the app, it connects via bluetooth and i start metering.
I metered a friends car at his first comp back in Nov, he did a 142.49 on my meter, 20 minutes later got on the tl and did a 142.5, so its very close! It works with any android phone and even works with ipads, maybe even iphones now, not sure.

How do you go about getting one?

I got mine from the rep on CACO, but i remember recently hearing that all purchased would have to be made through dealers now or something. Oh and it comes with free software updates for life.

i looked on there and went to the woofer warehouse link and their $469 and shipping is $65.

the shipping sounds like BS, see if you can find it anywhere else. That meter weighs like 1 lbs and its shipped usually in a padded envelope.

ok i messed up it can be shipped UPS for just over 18 bucks

I just looked at the vendor section on CACO, and they say that they will no longer sell directly to customers and that you have to use a distributor. They also mention set prices, so it should be the same everywhere.

His phone is kinda small, but it looks really good on my milestone x.

im gonna see what the guy at audiowave will do and if he dont want to sell it then ill get the spl lab

You just have to convince him that he will never use it again.. that sucks because our local shops really need to host comps again.. If he doesn't want to sell at least pressure him into putting it to good use and having Usaci host a show there. I would come and bring a few with me.

He wouldnt use his meter if USACI came.

Yea i know but he bought it for a reason and maybe the guy will remember that reason.
