[slowrolla97]

[rollininstyle2004]

[EG BTER]

Me and all my peeps will be there. We are parking in red.

[JASONBALL]

all the guys from world-insight in columbus will be there

check out the web www.world-insight.net

[G2BGONE]

me and my peeps parkin in green, only reason we showin is cuz its cheaper adn u get to take coolers in and have ur car ther with u

[SLOWR/T]

i should be in the show if my cars ready

[BigBoi]

me and my peeps parkin in green, only reason we showin is cuz its cheaper adn u get to take coolers in and have ur car ther with u

not a shot at you personally.. but to me that is what is wrong with the show now. Too many ppl with half-assed cars "show" just cuz it is cheaper then paying to spectate. My car is ready on the outside, but not on the inside, therefore i am not showing yet. Yes i could "show" and pay less.. but then i'd just be taking the quality of the show down even more.

just my 2 cents.. like i said.. not a personal shot at you.

[Allshow97]

I am showing this year. Atleast I plan on it.

[JASONBALL]

"My car is ready on the outside, but not on the inside, therefore i am not showing yet. Yes i could "show" and pay less.. but then i'd just be taking the quality of the show down even more."

I agree to some extent with that but there are alot of cars out there we really nice interiors that are stock and can be shown. but my personal opinion is that NOPI shows are for all people that love the show scene. not everyone can dump 8,000 grand into a car. they do what they can and like to show. wether it be stock or wild. they all have the same love for the sport of showing. So I say if They like itand it makes them happy they more power to them. It is all about fun.

[Jordan_W]

I've never been to NOPI, sorry, but I'm wondering what is all this parking color stuff...Also I dont want to enter the show, but I was wondering if were the spectators park, is there people that kinda stay around their cars so you can go talk to people about it and stuff like that...I just wanna park somewhere with other modded cars and just kinda hang out with people...Can you do this?

[Jordan_W]

bump :)

[COGCaviZ24]

http://www.nopinationals.com/images/Overall-Map-2005.jpg
^^this is the parking grid, the colors come from here

for what you wanna do I'd suggest you park in the green or white.register under car show, and enter in a class, then you should be able to select a parking spot.hurry up if you want the early bird price it ends 9/1/05

hope this helps :goodjob:

[technoteg97]

Lol Ill be at tha Top 2 Blue locations ;) ,Grey, and white areas..hahaha. and the C Green European.

[Jordan_W]

Hey, thanks, Yea i may do that. So do alot of people with just rims and exhaust enter the shows?

[COGCaviZ24]

Hey, thanks, Yea i may do that. So do alot of people with just rims and exhaust enter the shows?


yea, that's one of the reasons i'm entering. as shity as some the cars, i figured my car would half look way desent in conparision. and it's cheaper to enter a car early, than to pay for tickets for two people and walk around for two days. besides, you can bring a cooler in your car and fill it. it's like $4 for a lemonade in the show.

[Jordan_W]

haha thanks, thats a good plan...someone said earlier to park in the green lot/white lot, so i went to the NOPI site, and tried to register, you dont get to pick what lot so i dont know what to do... The only thing i could pick was 00+ V6 Eclipse Street...

[Jordan_W]

oh yea, do you have a site on cardomain or anything...I wanna see your car,

[bigb996]

like 20 somethin maybee 30 of us from wrxatlanta will be there.....

[COGCaviZ24]

keep going, it in the registration process somewere. no cardomain site. goto Who Then Now C.C. posts. I posted pics in there. let me know what you think

[Jordan_W]

ok ill try thanks

[Jordan_W]

i have no idea what "Who Then Now C.C. posts" is, sorry, i googled it too, but no results...

[COGCaviZ24]

[lowjack]

Won my entry today WOOT!!

I said I would NEVER pay them again!!

[COGCaviZ24]

my passes came in the mail today.

by the way I got in FREE!!!!

[rollininstyle2004]

^^ Mine came today too :goodjob:

Ive got a question though, on the "Pre checklist" thing they included it says to put on the Nopi Sticker (not the parking pass, that big black and red one they send 2 of), is that REQUIRED or are they just trying to get a Nopi sticker on your car? I mean if i have to I dont really care, but id rather not if i didnt have to. I know i need the parking pass on, but what about the other one?

[Nittanys1]

Im reg...got my papers in the mail today!

yea, I think you have to. just put it on and then after the show scrap it off.

[turbo_spool]

how big is the sticker, and also does it mess your paint up when you go to take it off?

[lowjack]

Lets just put it this way..... If you fail to have that Nopi sticker on your ride, your chances for placing decrease 10 fold. I have failed to have it on my car for the last two years and got nada.... Won;t make that mistake a 3rd time. THere show their rules and yes it does remove witha razorblade if you put it on GLASS! (Which should be the only place for them)

[turbo_spool]

ok thanks, so they are like those little 6" ones then right?

[Nittanys1]

6 inch wide oval thats about 3 inch tall....

[turbo_spool]

ok thanks

[turbo_spool]

so on the second day, do you automatically get the same spot you had on the first day, or do you have to be there at 6AM again?

[PhatbacK]

ill be there. modeling for NICO. im soooo not ready

[turbo_spool]

so on the second day, do you automatically get the same spot you had on the first day, or do you have to be there at 6AM again?

[Nittanys1]

no you dont...its first come first serve

[turbo_spool]

damn that sucks, looks like ill be gettin up at 4:30 in the morning for two days in a row....

[turbo_spool]

well what if i wanna leave while the show is goin on, am i allowed to drive out of the show to leave?, or do i have to wait till its over so i wont run anyone over...?

[Nittanys1]

u can leave whenever u want

[turbo_spool]

i guess it doesnt really matter, i though it closed later than 8, i guess i can wait until then to leave, actually scrap that idea, i dont want to be sitting there for 8 hours trying to get out, so ill probly leave around 7'ish...

(Which should be the only place for them)
I guess its going on the car then...You can always go to Michaels and get this stuff called "Cling Vinyl" then back the sticker with that, it basically clings to any flat surface as oppsed to sticking to it, and no one would know its there. Then when the show is over it just peals right off. I have it on my parking pass at school so I can remove it for shows and such.

[Nittanys1]

interesting.....

[turbo_spool]

thats a good idea about the shcool parking passes, i need to do that, cuz when i get my windows tinted im gonna have to take it off anyway...thanks for the idea

[Shawna]

ok the sticker is actually like vinyl i have had them on my car for the past 3 yrs and they peel right off. you can put them any where but you have to have them on your car or you WILL NOT but judged. as long as they see that they are both someplace on you car they dont care. i always put them on the back 2 windows and i have left them on for days and they peel right off with out a mark. i do reccomd putting them on your windows though.

[Shawna]

yea, that's one of the reasons i'm entering. as shity as some the cars, i figured my car would half look way desent in conparision. and it's cheaper to enter a car early, than to pay for tickets for two people and walk around for two days. besides, you can bring a cooler in your car and fill it. it's like $4 for a lemonade in the show.

I won 3rd place with my cavy last year so good luck. theres not a lot of non riced ones at the show so you have a good chance of placing.

[turbo_spool]

so then do you think my car would look good in comparison with most others?, all i'm gonna have are rims, alpine head unit, and HKS exhaust...also my car is REALLY clean...??

My Car (http://www.freewebs.com/djwebb/mycar.htm)

The Rims I'm Gettin Before NOPI (http://www.southerntire.com/wtPackages/msr/msr_103.jpg)

[Shawna]

my advice to you is to CLEAN your car to the point its spotless b/c they are going to look for spotless cars.

[turbo_spool]

alrighty, i can do that...thanks

[Kelly_Rene]

I'll probably be showing SuperBoxs car, If we can get the set up done in time.

I've never been to Nopi before so what do u do saturday night when the show is over?

[turbo_spool]

i am curious as well...

[Shawna]

oo i like the rims turbo.... theres a publix and the car wash that everyone hangs out at...hotel parties....i for one will be drinking and i know the people going with me will be as well. theres a lot of things to do. dont cruise up and down 19&41 though b/c the cops set up at every intersection and will pull you over for ANYTHING. Im getting there friday and we are going to go wash our cars and go eat and just hang out for the nite.

[turbo_spool]

yea thats so gay that they patrol the highways so hard.... my parents would probly not let me go the next days if i didnt come home at a reasonable time... i think im gonna leave saturday morning at like 5:15 from roswell, about an hour drive... then come home around 7 or 7:30, hopefully that will work good.... I bet that car wash makes hella money...

[Shawna]

if you are showing you might want to leave earlier than that b/c you will be sitting in line forever.

[turbo_spool]

wtf, how early should i leave then....maybe i just wont go to sleep at all, just get there around 1am, and sleep in my car lol...

[COGCaviZ24]

I won 3rd place with my cavy last year so good luck. theres not a lot of non riced ones at the show so you have a good chance of placing.

that's good to know :goodjob:.

and as far as parking goes,if u have a reserved spot i.e. in the GM yellow, than it's yours, but if u park in the green or white sections, it's first come first served.

and also the way I got free is the 100 entries that park in the GM section got there entries fees paid for by GM :D. I was number 2. finaly, it pays to drive a domestic!

[Shawna]

we got there around 600 and sat for almost 2 hrs b4 we got in....

[flysi00]

ill be showing my 240 / maybe the TT 350z

[COGCaviZ24]

damn! I think I'm gonna ask for friday off so I can get to the hotel and go to bed early......fat chance of that happening!

[sir2hb]

Yep I will be there Zack , the crew and me will be there firday night. I am not taking the hatch so i plan on getting drunk and will probaly have to sleep in the trunk because we invited to many people to stay in the room.

[SilverJester]

So I diefinitly want to go (never been before) but got no one to go with. Anyone else want to caravan down there (willing to meet wherever). I'm located in Acworth, so i guess anybody leaving from kennesaw area?

[speed]

[fdiaz]

Anyone that lives near flowery branch or hall co. area that is leaving saturday morning please PM me cause i dont want to get lost. Thanks

[BAPEsNaHoodie]
