February 28, 201114 yr Author U make it to Casper? ya i made it there... but just barely lolbefore we left for Louisville we did some testing and in the process the front of my box just exploded apart.. so i pull up to Casper with a busted up wall that im holding up with one arm the entire way there, I get pushed inside(because u cant have the car on) pay the $100 entry fee to do both spl and park and pound. At this point im not even sure if im going to even be ready to compete, so i pull everything out on the floor and line all the subs by the car as people are walking by met a few really cool guys from team IAK, had alot of help from team LOCO finally got everything in turns out the box which i payed a local guy to make was no where near as strong as it needed to be nor was it even built the right way what so ever... it looked good but with that much power i should have had a much much higher score. ended up with a 146.0 db in m4(which is terrible) and a 128.9db in db4 park and pound(drive by spl) which is still terrible considering what it should have been. I placed 4th in db4 so i dident qualify for Sunday. I was so upset over everything that i dident even go Sunday to watch the finals, so turns out i get a text message saying one of the guys in db4 was disqualified for whatever reason and they called my name to run so i would have placed third if i had went Sunday. I still had a great time and the highlight of the night for me was watching the hydraulic competition and watching all the cars pretty much blow up and shoot sparks everywhere. I must have seen about $50,000 go up in smoke. most impressive part of the night was watching Hank and those 48 10"s slam and shake the entire building during his park and pound run. So to end this update my car goes back in the shop either Tuesday or Wednesday and the box will be completely rebuilt and i will share all the updates. sorry no videos but here are sum pics that i took,
February 28, 201114 yr that sucks to hear about your car and such man. hopefully the shop who built your box wrong the first time isn't charging you to build it again. looks like you had a lot of fun though
February 28, 201114 yr Author that sucks to hear about your car and such man. hopefully the shop who built your box wrong the first time isn't charging you to build it again. looks like you had a lot of fun thoughNope, im not paying them a penny more, they offered to rebuild the entire box for free so im not gunna blast the name of the shop on here but it sucks because i put everything together the last 3 months for that one day.... there are plenty more shows this year but nothing like Carl Casper.
February 28, 201114 yr No pics of the box carnage? I always like to see how things fail so I can better understand how to prevent it.Good looking build that sucks about the box.
February 28, 201114 yr Author shoulda had bud do it.well that was the entire game plan since day one, once everything was in i tried to call Bud at least 5 times that week and never got an answer or a call back so i figured either he was to busy or didn't wanna do it anymore and i didn't wanna blow his phone up so i quit calling him. We talked at Casper about the whole situation i guess he thought i was mad or something but i wasn't what so ever, he said i should have left a message but i never leave voice mails, but here is the deal... all last summer i was on his team (Bangin on a Budget) and i learned alot from him, i think he most def knows all the in's and out's of building what i needed but he just quit calling me all together so i had to have someone else build it. congrats to Bud for winning Loudest in Louisville Friday night. ("Ive got a letter for you and its really loud " haha you know what that means if you seen his van,i have great pics of it but im sure he doesn't want them posted on here.

April 20, 201114 yr Author Thursday night i feel asleep at the wheel in my monte carlo ss (sober) on the way to see my mom and work on my car and ended up smashing a guard rail doing about 60mph and did alot of damage, pics to come... been laid up in bed with whiplash.I wear my seat belt 99.9% of the time...except for this night all audio equipment is fine and my car should be fixed by the end of this week, then the new wall goes in !!
April 20, 201114 yr Scary, I hate driving when I'm tired. Glad to hear it was a guard rail and not a tree or creek or something really bad.
