I just rolled in the door, still frustrated and angry. I don't want to sound like a whiney little bitch, but you would 2 if you drove about 70 hours just to get get dead last by 2 points. I thought It was 7, but they made an adding mistake. For some reason, or another I received a zero for all wires properly secured. If I took out a few pics from my scrap book I might have been able to get away with it. So a handful of wire ties, that could have been used in my trunk cost me a goergous finals trohpy.
My SQ score was WAY lower then normal. I know that the judges get picky for finals, but I don't understand how my tonal accuracy scores can drop from 17's and 18's in half. I thought It was tuned so well? I left even more confused because I heard the car that won my class. It sounded very dull, obviously this was the sound the judges were looking for, and mine wasn't anything like it. I thought Rusty & Allison Gregg's Daytona was a pretty phat install, I never did hear it. Keith Tuner's trunk was a wicked install as well. I'm not sure how all the other cars placed because I...
Well, I could have cared less.
It was interesting to see the International Sound Qaulity challenge. I'm glad I didn't do it, but all the judges had different tastes. A few people were unhappy that a few of the internatoinal judges had their systems pinned to the nuts.??
Mark Eldridge didn't even placed in the top 10 for this event. I'm hoping that it was only because of the points he lost from Engine on testing, It won't start, so how do they test for whine? Marks system was unbeleivable, It sounded wicked. I perferred it slightly to Gary Biggs. They are both really nice guys. Alma Gates was there, just hanging out with her crew, so I talked to her as well. She was telling me Gary is redoing to bronco for Spring Break. I listened to several other cars, it was educational.
