Well its that time again, time for the V4 & Rotary SPL & Sounds Alive Sound Off South Island Champs Nov 2014 Update! This time round I wasn’t lucky enough to tag along due to other commitments, however from looking at the results, photos and hearing how the event went from Ashley ‘MADD BASS’ Burrell it looked like I missed out on an awesome day with the biggest turnout for a South Island dB Drag SPL & Sounds Alive Event yet!
Last years event wasn’t the biggest event I have attended, but I enjoyed it due to the people, the sunny Nelson location and also the fact I got to demo most of the day. This year round it is good to see more newcomers entering the events and taking part of the fun that is dB Drag. In the end of the day it is about two things, having fun and seeing how many dB’s you can squeeze out of your Car Audio Setup!
Now for the Results from the day.

The highlights of the day as mentioned by Ashley were Tim Ryan getting a staggering 144db in his custom Honda and also the second coming of Paul Bowe’s Ford laser which always turns heads when its stealth install opens up to reveal the true nature of the car, but as Ashley has stressed to me all week the biggest highlight of the day was the massive support from all the locals turning up to take part in the Sound Off!
