So drag came to the mid west this yr to unify the industry and try and rebuild are play ground....

Now

What if USACi does the same next yr, and goes a little east to appeal make it fair, and appeals again to unify and rebuild, but playing in there back yard this time.

Not saying this is happening just wondering how people would react if every other yr they rotated to keep it fair?

Exactly the two biggest usaci markets is Kc area and Texas.And the turnout of spectators was terrible in tulsa. Kc draws more people to a double point import face off than tulsa did for finals. That my friends is the truth...

Subject: Re: Finals Sat Nov 14, 2009 10:28 am

The bad turnout was because it was the same
weekend as the state fair. Ralph and I spent
50 k promoting the event. It is hard to compete
against a fair crowd. We could not get the date
we wanted.

SEMA, SEMA, SEMA at least there you are guaranteed 50,000+ spectators

TUNICA MS FTMFW!!!!!!

Subject: Re: Finals Sun Nov 15, 2009 10:25 am

IMO, with the way the economy is, there will be lower turnout in spectators and competitors. I usually go to multiple shows a year, but the dfference for me last year and this year is that my hours were cut, the overtime was denied and had to be comped, and everyone was mandatories a 10% wage cut. I am thankful to still be working, but with those kind of cuts, the $$$ has to be made up somewhere.
Doesn't matter to me where finals was at. I really liked KC, but I think that is not gonna happen. Omaha was good, and I had a great time in Tulsa.
Doesnt matter to me where its at, just so we know far enough ahead of time to plan.
I don't know about anyone else, but the Oct. date works great for me. Don't have to contend with holiday's and weather is still not a factor.
