For Immediate Release.

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. www.usaciworldfinals.com will be updated as contracts are secured. Please visit the site regularly.

Well that's it for me.. I am going to enjoy my Kicker trip.. good luck to all..

This couldn't be sweeter for me. I'm already spreading the word to area shops to get some more people PUMPED about this.
Very rarely will there be any weather issues in Nov. Hell, last few years we were still in shorts and flip flops this time of the year.

Wow, this sucks. That is a 2 day plus drive for some of us. Many of us WI guys won't be making the trip this year. I guess whatever Ralph thinks is best for Usaci.

party at johncar's

well that kindof sucks 4 me. and that this info is just 2 months from finals i had 2 cars i was workning on now i have 2 cars im still working on and they should be strong not sure what classes they will be n though now with the changes.

I couldn't be more stoked! I can make the Judges meeting that evening and not have to take off work to go. That is a BIG plus for me.

I am sorry for the rest of you that puts another 6-10hrs on your drive, but, you do what you have to for the love of this hobby.

Good luck to all who attend!

I'll be there for Ultra in the booth. Might have something with me to run. Still trying to figure out which car can make it that far and back with the least likelyhood of problems. Looking into my teams transport company. If anyone else from WI or close to it wants to pitch in on the gas for the trailor let me know. I was told we can fit four cars at least.
