		FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: 12/27/2005 USACI Announces New “Street Beet” Competition Format. Lowell, AR – December 26, 2005. After a series of meetings with retailers and retail customers USACI directors have come together to develop a new competition format designed to attract new consumers to the world of car audio competitions. “The new format will be comprised of some old and some new thinking” stated USACI President Ralph Randall. “We expect it will be the next big thing in car audio competition as well as retail promotions,” he continued. “And as the success of this format continues to grow, we strongly expect to see more support from manufacturers on behalf of their retailers.” The new format called Street Beat takes a 30 second average from a vehicle while actual recorded music is playing. No test tones or burps will be allowed. Classes are determined by the number of speakers broken down by surface area into an easy to understand format for the first time competitors. Industry professionals will be exempted in the class in an effort to promote more local and beginner competitors. “This new format will be great for our retailers” stated Mike Jaffe, USACI’s Southwest Regional Director. “I love it” says Don DeRose, USACI’s Southeast Regional Director.“ Now the retailer will have something they can help their customers with and make sales as they help their customers advance to higher levels of competition.” The rules for Street Beat can be found online at the USACI web site www.usaci.org. USACI is currently the largest sound off organization in the US with more than 700 events in more than 400 cities across the US each year. In 2005 more than 15,000 individuals competed in USACI sanctioned events.

Bella Vista, AR 9/7/2005 For Immediate Release: USACi to introduce "Human Power" class at USACi World Finals in Kansas City, MO this Fall. "All amps must be powered by the competitor," states USACi President Ralph Randall. "Only pedal cars made after 1950 will be eligible to compete," Randall adds "the oil on each pedal car chain will be checked for proper viscosity, to make sure "cheater oil" is not being made by companies like Penzoil, TropArtic, etc. Also any use of synthetic oil will put the competitor in the "Human Power Expert Division." The new class will be officiated by USACi's own Mike Jaffe because of his vast knowledge of pre-1950 pedal cars and "fossil fuels".

USACI Inc Lowell, AR For Immediate Release Date: 06/01/2005 USACi and IASCA Combine World Finals Kansas City, MO – June 1, 2005. After a series of meetings and for the collective benefit of exhibiting manufacturers, distributors and soundoff competitors, the two leading soundoff associations will present their World Finals Competition events under one roof; one BIG roof. On October 15-16, 2005 USACi and IASCA will combine forces to present for this, and hopefully many years to come, a World Finals event deserving of the title. Bartle Hall, the site of the previous USACI World Finals will be the venue. “Kansas City has been a fantastic venue for all of our past finals. The city welcomes our event with open arms and we can expect nothing less for this monumental event ” says Ralph Randall, USACI President. “For many years all of the soundoff orgs have placed their end-of-season competitions in close regional proximity and within the same fiscal quarter” said Paul Papadeas, President of IASCA Worldwide, Inc. “This led to a slump in participation from exhibitors who could not justify or engage the budget to support the various independent events. My research indicates that exhibitors are very willing to increase their support of one Unified World Finals event instead of choosing which season finale to participate in. The ancillary expenses of exhibiting at such events makes it cost prohibitive for them to do them all, therefore choices had to be made. This is big news for the Soundoff scene. Many thought this would never happen, including me, but here we are. I look forward to this as ‘Episode 1’ of a new beginning to a more positive industry driven direction that soundoffs will lead to. The Mega Event will feature USACI and IASCA Final, a Tuner Jam Custom Car Show, Exhibitor showcase, local and national entertainment, and plenty of excitement for all who attend. “Along with the Sound-Q and the IdBL SPL contests”, Papadeas said, “IASCA will be inviting several of its International affiliation judges to officiate an I.S.Q.C. (International Sound Quality Challenge). Ralph Randall has graciously offered us enough floor space to produce our newest SPL format ‘EVERBLAST Bass Boxing’ a contest that has become quite the spectator event over the last two years. I believe that the event will stimulate more industry attention and competitors support than we have seen in years”. Show dates are: October 15 and 16, 2005.
