I'm sure that $50 fee scared away a lot of guys. Like I was saying to someone, most of us older competitors don't care about a huge trophy. We just like to come out and compete and have fun, but with the cost of gas a $50 fee is too much to bother. I know thats why us New England guys said we weren't going to go.

Steve don't fall for that. They drive 5 and 6 hrs. for a 1x drag show. They don't feel comfortable in an urban environment. They will never go to NYC.

Pictures anyone.....................and please, not another 30 pics of some guy's van.

it's a little different with dB Drags, any of the guys that make a long drive for a 1X are trying to get points for finals, there's only one guy in New England that went to USACi finals last year and he's not planning to go this year so he doesn't need the points. Any of the more serious competitors around here are doing Drags Finals, not USACi.

420 use to do USAC, they traveled to alot of shows but I don't think they ever did NYC, I could be wrong.

Now the newer guys, they would never do NYC not even if it were a drag show.

Well the show never should have been a triple pointer. Kinda messed up that was done to appease a couple of competitors. That's not fair.

stop complaining, you just hating because you did not go and u missed out.
so what, who cares besides you. i miss the show too and you dont see me boo hoo hoo en about it being a 3x event.

i think it did too
50bux can get somebody in 2 classes plus a retry...so u will get more for ur money in some drag or some mec.a events

Im willing to bet the move of finals to nebraska changed alot of northeast peoples minds. Thats like a 24hr drive from some parts

and I don't understand why Nebraska (capital "N" Marty), that's in the middle of cowtown, lameville and sheeptown USA

The show was packed. The SPL portion should of been placed by the end where the competitiors could of been in and out but overall it was good. I don't know who battled. I was stuck on my truck all day

This is the reason I'm not going to bother with points or wasting my time trying to make Finals. It's just too far and it's way too much money for gas, hotels and Finals entry fee's to bother.

There are newer guys that will go anywhere for a single point drags show if they needed the points, but people are spread out so much and gas prices are a major issue for most. Some guys would be looking at $300-400 in gas to make a NYC show, it's not always worth it.

USACi would be smart if they followed the example of Drags and had at least 2 locations for Finals, that would get a bigger turnout for sure.

And about the USACi 3x, thats not what scared anyone away. From what I understand, it was made a 3X to make that $50 fee worth it for people to come out. The $50 fee was decided by Proline, not USACi. So be pissed at the guys at Proline for being greedy and wanting a $50 fee instead of the normal $25, not at USACi.

Yes Vic the SPL location sucked. Some people couldn't even get in the lane to compete. They were being blocked by other cars. Native barely made it to compete, and that was untill at the end of the show.

i had soooo much fun....i seen folks i havent seen in atleast 10yrs
i even ran into folks i went to high school with...as a matter of fact he covette with the lambo doors ..that was at the proline entrance was my boys ride which was cool

but overall it was a nice show ...and it was worth taking the day off work to attend.

So how many showed up? Anyone get a count? And how did everyone do?

Steve, how much are Drag 3x...................$50 actually isn't bad. If 420 doesn't do USAC, non of the new followers will either.

You haven fun does'nt make it a good show 80, Infact i think the show sucks, and the competitors reeks.

dB Drags 3X shows are usually $75, so a $50 fee for a USACi 3X show is a good price. It's just too bad that Mark had to make it a 3X in order to get people to accept the price. 420 did one or two USACi shows last year, but it was because there was a dB drags show close by the day before. And with USACi's classes being based on power almost everyone in 420 would be in the same class, so it's kinda pointless for them. Not to mention that drags Finals are in two places in the US, the closest being in Indiana.....thats a lot closer than Nebraska. USACi is fun to compete in, but Drags competes all over the world so when you take 1st place at World Finals it really means your #1 in the world, not just #1 in North America.

If anyone had fun than it makes it a good show for that person. If you had a bad time and didn't like the show, or just got your ass handed to you in the lanes then so be it, it was a bad show for you. But calling it a fun show or a bad show is an opinion of it.

i agree 100% with u

You a doctor now or just some youg beer guzzling coward who likes to clean 420s bathrooms?
You will not do any show that they are not at. They have to hold your hand.

Steve, there is another reason why 420 doesn't do USACi. Bob does mod and Rooney does Super mod so they never compete against each other.


And comparing USACi to Drag makes these guys go crazy. You are hated now for speaking the truth. Believe me, I know. Welcome to the club.

i wish there was some drag shows in the area...i guess i have to travel to go to a drag show...

I guess thats your opinion.It's hard to get the big picture when you have such a small screen, I have never seen a more disorganize show like this one yet.

LOL again with the childish antics, will you ever grow up?

What makes me a "coward" nate? The fact that I had someone build my wall? Im just wondering what your basing your assumption off of? Answer me this, did you or did you not at one point see about them building your wall?

Ive done plenty of shows in the past that they havent been to, and Ive been to plenty of shows where they were. See, unlike you, I like to HAVE FUN. And not be negative throughout life.

And "holding my hand?" Ask steve, he was throwing the show I went to a few weeks ago, was there any "hand-holding"

Its just the same thing over and over with you. Your bi-polar or something man, maybe you have multiple personalities or something.

I would say goodluck to you in the future, but as far as I know, no org has adopted a "sit on a speaker box" class

Now seriosly Mr singh ar'nt you that NICE guy?

Its his alter-ego
