First topic message reminder :

09/26/2008

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.

Looks like it will be at the state fairgrounds in Dallas. Will move to Will Rogers in Fort Worth for 2009. Same weekend as before.

Will have 24-hour security, free trailer parking (saves many $100.00), and more.

And, since finals was moved at the last minute and the change will impact a great many competitors, anyone traveling more than 500 miles will receive a discount on entry fees. This may not make up for all the extra expense but it adds up.

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.

Like I said, not a lot but hopefully it will add up. I know it will on our end! LOL

For being a show as big as its been in the past and for the sudden change in venue, I think its going great. I think next year will be much bigger cause people will have more time to get ready. So far its good here in Big D.

Other than a few problems everything seems good. Not a bad turnout given the circumstances. Could have been more vendors though.

Was a bad year for Finals but we did our best. Thank you for your support. Next year we will be back on track!

Next year I want to use my big voice a litlle more on the microphone like Ralph. We had a great time meeting people and showing our product. For a last minute venue change I was impressed with how many people showed up. Next year we will have two cars in the booth and as many people competing as we can get. Thanks for your hard work.
