| For years all I have heard is how superior drag competitors are to USACi I have never beleived this but have always been impressed with most of what they do. I think over the past few years USACi has evolved into a monsterous force of competitors who yes at times raise hell and bicker but at the end of the day, do the damn thing. If you check out are counterparts forum lately all it is, is a bunch of whinning and complaining about this or that. THe euros have this car, we can beat it blah blah blah, Wayne do this, wayne do that, nail in the coffin here nail in the coffin there. I encourage ALL you to go over there and stay subjective and look at how that it can be taken from a Manufacturer, or new blood. Or a shop looking to get into hosting shows. We have been there, and DO NOT need to return, I think last yr and the next couple to come will be break thru yrs for USACi and return car audio to what it was and can be. I have for the first time in my 6 yrs seen Ralph make a move to get over the egos of ALL orgs, and do right. also promote all orgs as a vision to increase visibility of car audio as a whole. We want are industry back, LETS TAKE IT BACK, i remember getting out of school and so and sos cousing would be abusing the parking lot with that killer system and people flocking to it to check it out. Im gonna start a praking lot pimpin campain at various places to see if I can re creast excitement for this industry the manufacturers will go where the market dictates. SO lets Dictate.. Take a lesson from what you see on that forum. not go there. and keep this place as it is now. I am amazed at how its been the past few weeks. This is how it should be... Now Street Beaters we need to unite, we can make a difference and who is in, I can organize a official Parking Lot Pimpin Tour? _________________ TEAM HARD HITTERS BROKEN SILENCE C.C.Team AudioQ www.audioque.comTeam XS POWER www.4xspower.comYO SUPA.......

| Nice, This thread is more of a look in the mirror, The same bitching thats happening over there, has happend here, and happend oftern in the past, its more of a chance for all to see what it looks like, and that it Dosent really help, Yes you get heard but at what cost, We can all get it out and stay posotive. Ontop of that a point to USACi that we arent the step child, and we need to keep this thing going, Right now everyone is working together to improve, and we need to keep it that way. /point _________________ TEAM HARD HITTERS BROKEN SILENCE C.C.Team AudioQ www.audioque.comTeam XS POWER www.4xspower.comYO SUPA.......

| I do think DB DRAG was prior to 06 the hardest finals to win, but things have changed. Alot of USACI guys have really stepped up there game the last few years to level out the playing field. With out a doubt USACI is the best org we have going!! |

If the finals were in Indy or closer to the heart of drag in the states maybe we would have seen a little more competitors there . And maybe , just maybe Usaci wouldnt of had that turnout it the bulk of there competitors had to drive 12+ hours . I know its just an opinion , but to say that the scores are fair vs. overseas is rediculous . If those vehicles are doing 60s on the dash in ALL street classes and UPPER 69s in SS Classes , what would that do in the kick for usaci . Lets be a little more realistic ! Im just a noob , what do i know  _________________ 4001+ Modified 2008 and 2009 National Champion SS5+ 165.0Certified score TL on the dash / 165.5 in the kick   |

| So hats off to those guys. They are loud. I don't think that was the point of this post. Bruce was trying to say that the cohesion of USACi competitors is evident whereas in the past we were a disgruntled group. We've come together over the years and we all want to make things better so we have a place to play in the future. Lets drop the dB drag vs. USACi crap and get this back on track. |

Im with ya, I just think both are equally impressive and to be honest you really cant compare one to the other. One org focuses on a build that benefits them with the meter in one area and the other a completely different spot. The only thing that is the same between the two is that the ones who put forth the most effort are the ones on top. _________________ Scott Christensen
