A Barking Dog

As a followup to a post a couple of days ago, Mark Seaton has joined Tom Danley at the newly formed Danley Sound Labs. The only producs listed at this point is the TH subwoofer line. I’d expect a top in the future.

After Mackie (now LOUD Technologies) unloaded the unprofitable Mackie Italy (which contained speaker manufacturer RCF, used in many EAW designs) there was some concern over US distribution and some product shortage. Charlie Tappa from Pro Sound Service in Braintree, MA just told me that they have been appointed not only as the new US distributor of RCF, but the primary warranty service and recone center for the US market. They’ve had in demand parts shipped in via air and have a container with a wider selection in route. Looks like this should solve any RCF product shortage.

After speaking with a few colleagues attending NSCA this week, they’re not reporting anything of great interest. I can’t help but wonder if they’ve skipped out on the show to take in Disney World or Universal Studios. There has to be something, if you see or hear about it, let me know. Lee Richard reported on the LAB that a fire sprinkler over the Christie Digital booth malfunctioned and drenched the booth. That should keep a bunch of lawyers busy for a while.

Kart racing season opens this weekend in many parts of the country, including the opening round of the Stars of Karting “Race of Americas” CIK World Calendar event at the Oklahoma Motorsport Complex. The Roaddog Racing/ Team Carlson Rocket RK1/Swedetech CR125 will again campaign a limited season including stops at the Puget Sound Roadrace Gold Cup, the Cascade Regional Sprint Series and perhaps a couple of other stops on the national calendar. Sponsorship opportunities are available for all races.

Apparently Winfuel is an energy drink from Trim Spa to be released next week. Damn, I was hoping it would be an affordable race gas though I could use some Trim Spa as well. Dale has decided to race the truck this season. Good, maybe he can now get some decent finishes…
