December 27, 2016, Daytona Beach, Fla. -- In response to requests from SBN participants that has been resonating for years, the IASCA 2017 Season Kickoff, will take place at the Daytona International Speedway.

Held in conjunction with the Spring Turkey Run Car Show March 24 – 26, 2017, the event features over 15,000 spectators and more than 3,000 custom and classic cars from all eras. A host of planned activities and celebrity appearances include “Horny Mike” from hit TV show “Counting Cars” along with several others from the custom car industry. As it has over the last 30 years in its former venue, IASCA will produce the Sound Quality and SPL competitions, joined by MECA Sound Quality and SPL, and the dB Drag Racing Association’s SPL competitions.

“Hosting the Auto Sound Competition Kickoff at the Daytona International Speedway is something our members and participants have been asking for, for quite some time” says Moe Sabourin, Director of Operations for IASCA Worldwide “Being able to join in with one of the largest custom and classic car shows in the country makes it even better and will give our competitors so much more to see and do; it’s going to be a very exciting weekend.”  IASCA President and SBN Founder Paul Papadeas commented, “Bringing the auto sound competition experience to a consumer driven event like the Turkey Run is huge. Over fifteen thousand car enthusiasts attend. These people continually invest in their rides and are now showing more interest for In-Car Entertainment and Safety Accessories.”

Papadeas continues, “The IASCA mission is two-fold. On one hand we work to proliferate consumer awareness and on the other we encourage 12 Volt Manufacturers and Distributors to host, stimulate and educate retailers with sales and marketing methods while having a little fun. We’ve suggested that suppliers stimulate industry attendance by offing “show special discounts and terms” exclusively on site. "Both trade and consumers need the education that these events offer but now event production must be approached differently; one size does not fit all. Our industry’s demographics and product offerings have changed. We must respond to that which best serves our industry’s needs. Intermingling consumers and industry members in one venue can be most effective if you present the event to the respective participants independently. Sharing the show floor to both factions simultaneously is less productive. Opening the show floor to the public in a festive manner for one evening is sufficient to peak consumer interest. It’s my personal goal to collaborate with industry proponents to establish the means to produce an event that serves both factions." 

Online pre-registrations for the IASCA Season Kickoff, featuring competition registrations for IASCA, MECA and dB Drag Racing will open January 1st, 2017 on the IASCA website at www.iasca.com/store.

March 31, 2017  -  Daytona Beach, Florida – The IASCA Competitions held at the spacious Daytona International Speedway (DIS) during the Spring Break Nationals were held on March 24-26th. This was the first time that SBN joined the Spring Turkey Run, a long term Car Show, to maximize car audio exposure to its newest consumer demographic. There was more than an ample amount of space for IASCA and the other Soundoff Organizations in attendance, to hold their competitions without concern for noise problems interfering with competitions and neighborhood complaints for excessive sound.

The four factions of IASCA competition were served; Sound Quality, the Tuner Jam Car Show, SPL which includes Bass Boxing and IdBL and the most recently popular Phenom, “DEMOZ”. DEMOZ is the recent wave of competition which really isn’t a regulated competition as much as it’s a competition of Sound Rivals. There are no judges, there is no scoresheet. DEMOZ is merely a place where participants stretch the envelope of sound, creating mobile audio beasts, pitting against each other for recognition as the loudest, most insane vehicle sound systems anywhere. 

Each competition area was located far enough apart from each other as not to cause interference with each other or the Turkey Run Car Show that the IASCA had joined forces with. IASCA Director of Worldwide Operations Moe Sabourin said: “We’ve learned a lot from this first year and are exploring forward movement for 2018. The Speedway is huge and we monitored the sound levels across all fields that proved that we can bring the action in these four segments closer together”. 

Notable awards in honor of members of the IASCA family that had recently have passed on were presented; the Darrell Bell and Harold Jaffe Awards. In the ‘90’s Darrell was an outstanding employee of the IASCA office and had produced IASCA finals events for several years. Darrell made a friend in everyone he met. Harold had a great sense of humor and was a Manufacturer’s Representative in the Pacific Northwest. He served as President of IASCA in early days and remained a loyal proponent involved in the IASCA board of Directors. Harold also conducted excellent Judges’ trainings worldwide.  The Darrell Bell and Harold Jaffe Awards were issued to IASCA veteran competitor and educator Mark Eldridge and IASCA Judge and Trainer Travis Chin respectively, for their commitments to IASCA and industry.

In competition awards, the pinnacle of IASCA Competition is the Triple Crown. Triple Crown competitors are judged for Sound Quality (SQC) and Installation Quality (IQC) with a judging team as opposed to one Judge. The 2017 IASCA TC winners at SBN were Paul Pirro of Tint World in One-Seat Judging, Brian Mitchell of Arc Audio in Two-Seat Judging, and Matt Hall, a consumer and military pilot serving our Country in Afghanistan, in the Expert Class.  All of the competitions progressed smoothly and awards were handed out in the NASCAR / Gatorade Victory Lane. While no one shook and sprayed a Champagne bottle or did a backflip off their car, receiving awards at in Victory Lane was only topped by a couple of Police and Pace Truck Escorted Victory Laps around the Speedway that all competitors were treated to. Likewise, no Burnouts or Victory Donuts were reported either.
