Hello, all.
My name is Bob Johann, and I am a member of the Heart of Illinois SVTOA chapter in East Peoria. I have a T-Red 1998 SVT Contour.
I am also the Illinois event coordinator for the Sound, Looks, and Performance Association, also known as SLAP.
What Is SLAP? The Sound Looks And Performance Association (SLAP) Is For All Auto Enthusiasts!
The Sound, Looks And Performance Association (SLAP) serves to provide fair, un-biased rules for car shows, sound pressure level and sound quality competitions. Simply put, SLAP stands for Sound, Looks And Performance. These are the three most important aspects of a vehicle to a true automotive enthusiast. You may care about one more than another, but that's cool too. To understand what we're all about, consider each area separately.
SOUND
A cranking stereo is a must-have whether you're cruising the town or cranking it up at the nearest sound-off. We are the largest coordinator of sound-offs in the World! Our sound-off events are hosted all over the US by car stereo retailers such as Tweeter, HiFi Buys and Car Toys, and car show promoters such as the Truxpo Truck Tour. We also produce our own events such as the Georgia Motor Fest.
LOOKS
What good is a vehicle if it doesn't look cool? SLAP gives custom car & truck show enthusiasts a place to show off their rides and compete with one another for awards. Unlike many so-called car shows, SLAP judges don't pull scores out their butts. SLAP has revolutionized custom car show judging by utilizing a standardized scoresheet, scoring parameters and classifications. We let the competitor present the vehicle to the judge to explain every aspect that has gone into their vehicle. If only all car shows were judged this way.
& PERFORMANCE
Admit it. You're the guy who squeals tires, revs up at red lights and can't stand to follow anyone on the highway. Yeah, we are too. That's why we support cool amateur racing organizations such as SCCA and the One Lap of America.
Please visit SLAP's website at www.slapshow.com or e-mail me at soundqsvt@yahoo.com for more information.
I just wanted to let you know that there are already 9 SLAP events scheduled in Illinois, all but 2 (my own 2 events in Eureka, IL) are in the Chicago area.
As it stands right now, the Illinois SLAP schedule looks like this:
March 29 – Stasek Chevy – Wheeling, IL
May 10 – Stasek Chevy – Wheeling, IL
May 18 – Tweeter – Gurnee, IL
June 21 – Heart of Illinois – Eureka, IL
June 29 – Tweeter – Aurora, IL
July12 – Heart of Illinois – Eureka, IL (SVTOA-HOI Chapter event)
July 20 – Tweeter – Downers Grove, IL
August 17 – Tweeter – Schaumburg, IL
August 30 – Stasek Chevy – Wheeling, IL
All three formats (dB, dBq,and Show) will be offered at all events.
And, of course I am working to add even more SLAP events to the schedule.
I invite you to come check out these events, as they really do bring together a wide array of people, all of whom love to be active with their vehicles.
Thank you for your time.
