It was that time of year again, time for the V 4 & Rotary Jamboree Sounds Alive & Extreme Bass Battle Sound Off! Just like last year the weather at Manfield Park was flawless but the turnout was even better with twenty three people this time round! Again we had Aaron & Deirdere running the show allowing Ashley again to roam around with his camera!
The morning started well… Well I wasn’t there for the setup (A first in the last couple of years) so when I arrived all I had to do was setup the Term-Lab and after a couple of small hiccups we were all ready to start! As I put before we had Twenty Three Competitors this year and if I remember this would make it the biggest Sound Off at a V 4 & Rotary Jamboree yet!
There were many highlights at this event, one of my favourites was the fact it didn’t matter where in the complex you were you could hear the Ground Pounding Bass from either Dave Moore’s Commodore or Tom Mangu’s Mirage. At one point fellow competitor Steven came out of the toilets explaining Dave’s Commodore was shaking it so much the lights cut out & I also had a spectator tell me he could hear Tom’s Mirage next to the race track and just had to see it up close!
Other highlights of the day include numerous personal bests including:
Peta Williams becoming NZ’s Loudest Woman for 2014 with a impressive 150.02dB, which is also very close to her husbands 2014 score, by the way people this is all her own car audio too!
Kamo Eriepa entering the 150dB Club with a 150.45dB on his first time competing in a Sounds Alive & Extreme Bass Battle Sound Off!
Jade Coley taking out Kiwi Pro Class with a 143.10dB beating his dad Matthew Coley who got a 140.45dB. These two both own Honda DC5’s so I’m guessing we will be seeing some good father and son rivalry in the near future here too!
First timer Steven Gordon managed to get a 139.76dB not only out the Kiwi Class but also making him the loudest in the Kiwi Class for 2014 so far! This in my opinion is an amazing feat and an excellent starting point for anybody starting in dB Drag NZ!
