 dB Drag Racing Introduces “Deathmatch ‘99”
The dB Drag Racing Association recently announced the introduction of “Deathmatch ‘99,” a competition they're deeming "the most radical auto sound competition format ever devised." According to Wayne Harris, president and founder of the dBDRA, Deathmatch ’99 will debut at the 1999 dB Drag Racing World Finals in Louisville, KY, on October 16-17, 1999.
“In a normal dB Drag Racing round,” explains Harris, “competitors have 30 seconds to achieve their highest SPL.
Since the meter records the competitor’s highest score during this 30-second time frame, a simple ‘burp’ of the system for 1—2 seconds is all that's required to put up a big number.” According to Harris, Deathmatch is much, much more demanding.
