 I
recently visited Barbados and helped The Checkered Flag hold
their first IASCA & IdBL Event. While not sure of what type
of vehicles that were going to be there nor what type of sound
systems at this small place called Barbados would have and (ok
its an island in the Caribbean that a bunch of tourist go to)
what kind of cars, sound systems, technology, paint work, customization
and so forth would show up went through my mind all the way
there on the plane ride. I meet some people on the plane that
were from Barbados and they were very nice and knowledgeable
of electronics and some of the industry's new innovations. I
went to the show in Farley Hill the next day and was very impressed.
I could not believe my eyes and ears. These vehicles are awesome
I thought. For not having any sanctioned events like IASCA or
IdBL the vehicles and competitors were far advanced than my
expectations. The new tuner look and ground effects and stickers,
wheels etc. Where just like cars I have seen in Trinidad, Bogota
Colombia and even the US. I was pleased to see the vehicles
were done the right way, meaning not all chopped up. WOW!! was
the word I thought when I looked and checked out the vehicles.
As far as a standard the Bajan's are way ahead of alot of competitors
in the US as well as Trinidad, Colombia and Mexico. I found
that the craftsmanship of the installs to be well thought through,
planned, and very creative. The colors used, leather and the
different materials to match everything was unique with each
vehicle. As far as improving the level of competition nothing
could be done. I mean Bajan's are competitive people. I think
that learning the rules and having more shows and working with
the competitors so they can see the their vehicles judge after
knowing the rules will be exciting. I introduced the new IASCA
Street rules which is an easy format for anyone to compete and
show their vehicle off. This format allows anyone with sound
equipment in the vehicle to compete. It is interesting and not
real complicated. I think with a few workshops and time along
with experience the Bajan's are going to be dangerous in the
world of IASCA & IdBL competitions. I appreciate Mr. Nick Harrison
for bring me down and having the opportunity to see first hand
what's going on and be part of the Bajan family. Remember, when
you really enjoy what you do, "it shows" Be proud and stand
tall Barbados you are on the International map of Car Audio.
Go get em. |
