United States Autosound Competition International

On June 21st-22nd, 2008 in Biloxi, MS the SQ Compatition world will be turned upside down!

Deep South Nationals is a Top 30 Money Round SQ event that will be held in conjunction with Scrapin the Coast. Scrapin is the premier car & truck show in the southeast and was Mini Truckin's 2007 "Show of the Year". Also, Scrapin had the largest USACI turnout of any show all year (It was bigger than FINALS!)

This will be a return of the REAL DEAL money shows of the 80's and 90's. Several manufactures have already given to the PRIZE POT that will go directly to the competitors NOT in my pocket or to show expenses!

By the way, Deep South Nationals is a non-profit event. I'm doing the show for one reason and one reason only... I want SQ to GROW bottom line.

If you have any questions checkout the website www.DeepSouthNationals.com or you can contact me by email @ rsellers@mc.edu or (601) 590-0419
