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.

MUTHER FREAKN AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Ralph!

I know there will be many complaints about this move. PLEASE understand it was the only logical choice and CANNOT be changed at thsi point. We appreciate the support of all our members and sincerely hope this move does not cause too much hardship on you. I am sure history will show thsi to be a very good move for USACI even if it does not seem so to many right now. USACI will continue to grow and build and this is part of the process.

Once again, than you to all of you who continue to support our organization.

Nice!

Thanks Ralph for getting this straightened out see you in fort worth dallas

SEE YA ALL THERE..........

GOOD I SAID DALLAS WOULD BE EASY, BUT WASNT WILLING TO GO ANY FURTHER SOUTH OF THAT

UNFORTUNATELY THIS TAKES US DOWN TO 1 CAR NOW BECAUSE OF THE DISTANCE NOW TO DECIDE WICH CLASS TO RUN IT IN

Hope my car can make it that far

0-600 PRO FOR ME AGAIN DECISION IS MADE

we may lose a few competitors but we'll gain a few as well. No weather worries! We'll be waiting for venue and hotel announcements.

LOL WEATHER WORRIES HMMMM HURICANES AFFECT US IN KANSAS I CAN EMAGINE BEING CLOSER TO THEM, AND DALLAS GETS ICED UP PRETTY GOOD DURING THAT TIME OF YEAR ALSO DONT IT

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.
