Weekend Plans? Greg Welch Memorial Show

By: Ben Vollmer, Car Audio Nationals/Team SoundDomain

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.

Update: 2008 USACi Finals Moving Locations

Posted by: Brian Murphy, SoundDomain Moderator

USACI announced today that the 2008 USACI World Finals and Tuner Jam will be re-locating to the Dallas-Fort Worth area in Texas. Every effort is being made to keep the current dates. Event specifics including hotels will be updated frequently over the next week. Despite incredible efforts and input on behalf of the Omaha retailers and USACI, there were obstacles to the event in the Omaha market that could not be overcome.

USACI would like to thank Stereo West, Inphase Audio, Nebraska Furniture Mart, and Metro Audio for all their efforts. "While we at USACI are disappointed to be making a change so late in the season we welcome the opportunity to take USACI Finals back to Texas and develop a new venue" stated Ralph Randall, USACI's president. "We also have several forthcoming announcements coming about our new finals sponsors and the plans for our new venue!" he continued. These announcements can be expected over the next 5-7 days.

USACI has a very strong support base in the mid-south region that includes Texas and the move will undoubtedly increase not only competitor attendance but spectator turnout as well. Several manufacturers have already committed to support the event and we expect several more in the next two weeks. http://www.usaciworldfinals.com will be updated as contracts are secured. Please visit the site regularly.

Pretty Cool Hair Trick Vid

I'm not sure why these vids are so entertaining to watch, they just are. I mean, we know what's going to happen just by the description of the video... There's going to be some bass and there's going to be a girl getting her hair whipped around. Regardless, it's still somewhat mesmerizing and fun to watch. This vid was put together by Snoopdan of E-Town, Kentucky at a MECA SPL event.

Team Bassick Update: Cage Almost Complete, World Domination Eminent

I just checked back up on the Team Bassick build post and it looks like things are coming along nicely on the bangin' Burban build. Looks like the cage is just about done, which means the guys can start getting down and dirty with the next steps in fabrication. I can't wait to see how this turns out! Here's a few sneak peaks. If you want to follow the thread over at Steve Meade Designs, click on any of the pics!

Oh yeah, and if you were one of the few folks who got hit with the Antivirus 2009 Spyware ad that appeared on CarDomain and SoundDomain, check out John's post for a details on this annoying and non-CarDomain- or SoundDomain- approved advertisement.
