If you are anything like me, it is about three weeks from MECA Finals and you ALMOST have enough points to qualify. But not quite. So this Saturday, I am headed to North Georgia for the last non-State Finals event on the MECA Event Schedule. In addition to MECA being there, Tim and Alison Brown also have an IASCA 2x Event with Moe and Terry being there in hopes of iDBL World Records being broken.
The show starts at 1 PM and is one of the most affordable shows I have seen all season. It is $15.00 plus a toy to get into the show area, and then $10.00 for each event you want to compete in. So if you do IASCA and MECA Sound Quality, it would be $35.00 plus one toy as a donation to Toys for Tots. Which is what most shows charge for one class.

We've got updates on the USACi Finals move. According to USACi's President, Ralph Randall, Finals will take place at the state fairgrounds in Dallas and will move to Will Rogers in Ft. Worth for 2009. They will have 24-hour security on site, free trailer parking, and competitors that have to drive more than 500 miles will receive a discount on their entry fee.
1. Free secure trailer parking ($100 savings)
2. Clubs and groups can RESERVE space together @ no charge.
3. 20% entry fee discount (1st entry) for those traveling more than 500 miles.
4.
Points cutoff will be extended to October 19, 2008. Invites will still
mail on October 10 so those who qualify later will have to call in to
register.
This will be both and inside and outside event. They will try to fit as many cars inside as they can, but space is limited, and this is finals after all - there will be a lot of cars! Power will be available and the USACi crew even said they would bring generators if need be! For more info, follow the discussion over at the USACi forums: 2008 USACi World Finals Moved to Dallas, Texas. Thanks for the tip Murph and Ben!

Car Audio Nationals took place the past weekend in Georgia, and the show was an amazing success. The competitor roster was full of the industry's top guns, and why not? With a $3500 purse on the line, who wouldn't want to try their hand! CAN took place along MECA State Finals and a USACi event, so there was
no shortage of audio fanatics and experts on hand. CAN judging
included one-seat and two-seat SQ judging, so competitors really had to
bring their A-game. A special thanks goes out to Arc Audio for hosting the event.
We'll have pics up shortly from the event thanks to Team SoundDomain's own Jonathan "Thumper" Denton. And if you were there and had a camera handy, we'd be happy to add your shots to out gallery as well. And speaking of Thumper, big congrats on your 4th place finish! Not too shabby for a rookie....
We've got the full results posted after the jump, and you can join in on the CAN discussion in the SoundDomain forums.
