I am really excited about this event! Should be alot of fun.

DUDE...when you gonna spell my name right?

Joe WALLIS!!!

sheesh, Kris Patte

Dude....it is right...LOL.

You guys have fun and be safe. I know our crew has a lot of 'irons in the fire' right now. Best of luck to you all!

Not going to make it this year we are just far too busy at the shop right now. Good luck to all that are going.

SQ for 2010 will have prize money for those who are dedicated to USACI SQ. Many people spent countless hours reinventing USACI SQ so everyone would feel better about USACI SQ, based on the assumption that low turnout was the result of rules that needed changed. The rules are changed. Now is the time for those people to come forward and support their argument. David at Padre has donated $500 to the USACI Finals SQ Prize Money and made his show a cash qualifier for SQ. If SQ showing in Padre is weak then it will be hard to convince other promoters to step up and do the same. You run SQ and you want to see SQ grow, and you want prize money back in SQ, and you want more competitors in the lanes, then step up and prove it! Don’t just talk it, do it.

2010 needs to see more SQ participation than 2009 for SQ to remain a viable format. Building awards and bringing judges to shows for 1 SQ car is not viable.

I do see some guys stepping up to the plate and all of us at USACI who support SQ appreciate that effort. Question is where are all the guys who were clamoring for all the changes? We had SQ in Arizona Sunday for all the SQ guys out there who have complained for the past 3 years (get e-mails every week) about no SQ. We had more than 30 SPL, 100 car show, and 0 cars in SQ!

The fate of USACI SQ is in the hands of the USACI SQ competitors. You guys have the power to make or break it. Support USACI SQ!

NO Shows are really sad ....... so maybe there was a lot of BS around about the AZ spl gig.

I will be back supporting shows starting in March. I just am trying to get cars and such ready for the new rules.

Yeah...same here...the USACi shows I have scheduled start in March.

Well that is Spring Break Jam...starting MARCH 6th!

I hope you guys can make it...I don't want to be the only guy from the committee to compete.

I am promoting 6 shows in Arkansas starting March 28 All USACI. I wanted to go to Padre but there is no time to get everything done and be prepared for these shows in Arkansas. The goal of these shows is to promote USACI SQ in an area that doesnt have SQ shows.
Now that being said if someone wants to volunteer to finish my Honda before Padre I will go. THP are you listening lol.

Well Joe...if it all goes to crap, it's your fault.

Come on over bro...I help you finish it! LOL!

We have 8 Cars going to South Padre! This is what we have been waiting for. Thanks to all the Guys and Gals who worked so hard.

I dont have a car yet to compete. I am working on it though. So my goal is to be ready to go by April/May time frame and if I push it late March barring I get the cars electrical issues sorted out or a new car all together. Have fun guys down in Padre.

I appreciate everyone who is working so hard to get cars out. Together we can make SQ a much bigger part of the sport.

Yeah...Im working hard to get my car together...and push the long drive from WI.

Like the others said...WE HAVE A LOT OF IRONS IN THE FIRE RIGHT NOW....I would love to come to S.Padre AGAIN this year but time just ain't there to make it all happen. AND YES I (we) DID PUT A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT ON THE RULES REVAMP, so don't think I don't care or just don't want to make the drive. Padre is always a good event and hopefully there will be MORE turn-out than last year!!

ALL that can make it, please try to attend at least some of the shows coming up in Arkansas. Four are only single points but one is a DP and the FINAL event in LR is a TP. So well worth the trip. James and I have a few cool things in store for a couple of the shows so stay in touch. I look forward to seeing you all sometime in the near future. Good luck to all...............

Todd we will try to make the triple!

Yea, put me down for that show as well.

I wish I could get someone to do my car...or I had 100k to get someone to get the car ready by Padre. But I gotta keep my day job and spend time with the Mrs to. I gotta get to the car when I can...lol

Muhammed, get it over to Chris Pate, if he has time.

you will be treated right that is for sure!

That would be nice...you got time Chris!...lol
