Just in TN and few in KY, one in IN. Wonder if they'll spread out if it works well.

The dates and locations are: • March 16 - Clarksville, TN • April 5 - Knoxville, TN • April 12 - Evansville, IN • April 26 - Hixson, TN • May 10 - Bowling Green, KY • May 31 - Madison, TN • June 7 - Owensboro, KY • June 21 - Chattanooga, TN • July 5 - Antioch, TN • July 20 - Elizabethtown, KY • August 17 - Clarksville, TN • August 31 - Madison, TN 3X Soundfest

They're going to be reduced priced events too, but not reduced trophy packages. Really, it will end up costing MECA to do this probably but they've always been in it for the sport vs. the money.

too far for me to roll to compete

[snoopdan]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that the events will be 1x events so there most likely wont be any of the veteran MECA guys showing up for points.

What does that mean exactly? It means that if you want to show up and compete and its your first time, you wont get stomped by a guy (or girl) who competes in MECA professionally.

Its a nice chance for new people to get into the sport, thats all

For people in those areas, definitely.

But it appears as though MECA is dead up here. No shows in IL, WI, or MI.

Yeah, I think I know why as well.

Too bad too. I liked MECA shows until they started getting more and more gay with the rules.

yea someone was telling me theres not even 20" in your truck for the meter to the windshield, because your enclosure pushes the seat up so far. is that so? lol tight fit

With my stand there isn't 20", however with one of the stands used at finals there most likely will be.

Does that mean I'll do a MECA show this year? Probably not seeing as the closest show is 3+ hours away.
