We did just what we were told,so if no one says nothing about anything,how are we supposeto know whats happening,there are SO many rule changes I cant keep up with them,but if we have to be unmanned and no mic monkey,where are the jigs to hold the globe,or do we have to furnish those to?

its not a big deal to me. ralph said this no mic monkey 100 times. they were suppose to have these jigs made..or you can make them yourself to use. i would've done the same thing. if they dont say anything..why not. .

here is what i think was being used? <<<<dont know for sure, but everybody had fun.

Dealer Select....
USACI “Dealer Select" classes provide the local competitors the classes that fit for them. “Dealer Select” will be comprised of two classes to be custom designed by the shop hosting the event. The classes will be different at every event and will be custom tailored to the needs of the local customers as seen by the hosting retailer. The host can limit the class to Local Only or even to his own customers. Options will include power classes, woofer classes, music only or tones only classes. By catering to the needs of the Local shops USACI will continue to provide the 12 volt industry with an exceptional cost effective way to promote industry growth and retail sales.

boy at the rumors that can start. there is absolutely no concrete in the van. I will air the tires up for the next show....

good vids Dave.

Man if usaci doesnt have a OFFICIAL jig, i dont see how they can say no one on that side of the mic

I dont have a problem with either myself, but im sure some people cant get the meter to stay in the spot they want without someone holding it in their


Luckily mine stays there with no help

Yup I was the tall guy with the long hair.

I had my old mic stand and just used it to kind of pin the globe where i needed it. i didnt check it before the second run and it had moved.
a jig would be nice to have.
I personally dont car how they run. what really counts is the end of year finals. i have been to shows in the way years past and got beat by class jumpers that had more than double the rated power for the class they jumped into. i took it as i should get louder to prevent that from happening the next time. as i said in another post i kind of take it as dealer select.

sure is an awful lot of just dont know if it is back door politics or geniune concern for anothers well being

damnnnn i just watched all the vids over 3 times and i think i see what all the whining is about

I think that Team South should run unmanned from this point forward unless they are doing a fun run or just running for the hell of it. If the rules are for unmanned, we should set the example guys.
it is hard without an official jig but there are enough creative minds to rig something up.

billy bret bobby nick had a blast at the show with u guys cant wait till we can get togather again this gonna be one hella fun season with u guys this year

dave where is your vid bro?

you know it dude!

I asked if we were running manned or not and they said ralph has not told them or gave them a jig to hold the mic so we ran manned. Its not like me and bobby are setting world records...we are just going after each other right now. I am going to start running nothing but sb4 from now on though. Burping it first killed my batts. LOL No biggie we all had fun. I do 158.1 unmanned if I get the globe to stay in place by the way.

well at the memphis show we had we ran unmanned or person on opp side of mic.. jus like the new rules state.. looks like the head judge needs to stop worryin about me tryin to get competitors to come to the memphis show and start worryin about runnin the show like it should be

i use this for testing. yeah it still has the audiocontrol holder on it.....I set it up about 4 inches from where the mic is with the globe. it is not strong enough to hold the globe up. but i could probably wire tie it to it and wedge it to stay.

i think all the whinning as you call it is because we see people attending an event where they will obtain points for finals, and the format isnt going by the current rules we have set for us this year so thats why all the whinning is going on as you called it.

Yeh but it didnt affect anything, they woulda still got the same amount of points, just a few tenths lower on the score for everyone

I see your point and a very good one sanman....whining just sounded fun.....
I do agree if someone is getting points for finals why not run the correct formatted way. if you want to run any other way then do it for the fun of it separetly.
i dont think you were referring to the general locals that run for the helluv it. that is where the dealer select process comes in.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
for skips reply

do you really think thats the main issue now look they ran the way the director allowed them to, and we all know thats not right this is where we correct things now instead of later.

yes Jeff i understand what you are saying.
yes to me there is an element of responsibility on the competitor themselves. call it ethics, morals or any other political name, it doesnt matter. those going to finals should compete in the format set forth and do it regardless of what is allowed. to me what was allowed falls under the dealer select that ralph has set forth.
With that note, i do think that getting points for finals, the competitor should compete everytime like he was at finals.

Soooooo.....What are you whinning about?

Points or people following rules?


The directors stated when asked by a competitor the ruling, now if you wanna take that up with them, thats another subject.

If they wanna do it this way the WHOLEEEE way knowing that at Finals its gonna be diff, so what?

I dont see the point in getting panties in a bunch over a local show which means [] much in the big scheme of things

hey nick I will both have bids up when I get home

first of all fucker its not called whinning its called ensuring people get it right before records start getting set, and then you dont haven an attitude at finals when you get your ass handed to you by 5-6 db's. If you cant see it as constructive critisism then your an asshat, but we already know you aint Dung Pile anyways

Cool Dave! will be looking them!!!!

does anyone else have any pics or vids of the van from this show?
I should have let someone take some vids and pics with my camera, just didnt think about it.

Now....suffer the REINDEER!!!!!!



No one escapes the REINDEERS WRATH!!!!!!

weak sauce!

The USACI rules are not optional. ALL directors are informed of ALL rules changes and ARE NOT welcome to change them at a show. I will speak with the director for this show and find out what happened.

USACI reserves the right to remove sanctioning from any event we feel is not run by the USACI rules. Competitors are urged to contact USACI if they become aware of an event in which the rules are not being followed so as to avoid the possible loss of sanction for the event.

No jig,what were we suppose to do,throw the globe in the floorboard? Now would that make everyone happy? Geez dont flame the wrong people without facts.

woop dere it is

explained in deed

startin to wonder was it a great idea posting those vids, man well didn't want to get anyone in trouble with the H.B.W.G.I.C(head bald white guy in charge) lol but still nonetheless a great show an i had fun.
