Bass race is a spl type competition that has classifications not rules very similar to bracket drag racing
you have 5 classes
119.9 db and under
120-129.9 db
130.139.9 db
140-149.9 db
150-159.9 db

you have 30 seconds to play music from any media type cd,ipod,hdd radio,sat radio…but no test tones or frequency sweeps are allowed
there are no equipment or build rules as long as the car is driveable and nothing covers the spl sensor mounted to the windshield (12" over and 4" up from the bottom outside corner of the passengers side ) or comes within 12 inches of the sensor

the computer keeps a rolling average and you have to finish as close to the top of the class that you want to compete in without going over
for instance a 130.1 db is a breakout you get a dq if you qualify in the 129.9 class but if you qualified in the 139.9 class you have a very bad score and take a good chance of getting beaten

how ever if you get a perfect score a "129.9 " in that class you have don ver well

most good bass racers can get perfect scores many times in a row

ties are broken by first shutting the car off and rerunning
if there is a tie still you have to control the system from a remote control from outside the car
and if there is still a tie you go till someone makes a mistake,something breaks or the guy with less battery power starts having voltage drop

this format is far superior to spl style burps because there is actually music and there can be a winner in every class , equipment level, and experience level

after 2-3 bss races you should have it down

and all you need to do to win is have good control of your system and a song with a good bass line
