You are joking right? Later, QD.

[Axix23]

So Nopi doesn't have enough money to hold its own show now and need support of HIN to come up with a show? Its going to be interesting to see what turnout it will be in july at AMS... Its got my support... Anybobdy is better than Motorsports Nats.. I hope those guys don't try to hold another Failed show at AMS in Sept again this year... I even told them not to do it... LOL

[quickdodge®]

I even told them not to do it...

And I'm sure they'll listen to you. Later, QD.

[RL...]

I'm glad some big shows are still coming to ga...should be fun with good weather

[Gorilla Eg!]

I thought Nopi was long dead and buried?

[quickdodge®]

Sadly you were mistaken.

NOPI actually died somewhere around 2002 or so. But people that have no business modifying cars have kept NOPI from becoming a fond memory. Later, QD.

y cant people let the dead STAY buried, Nopi was the worst ricer school for the "fast and furious crowd".....geezus, here we go again....

[darkshadow]

whos knows maybe with the FNF crowd dieing out as much as it has around even the little car meets maybe we will become just as lucky with our big Shows

I'm not into guady cars, but the foundation of national car shows have been taking cars to extreme measure both cosmetically and performance wise. NOPI was not the only car show with rice, all of them have a certain amount of it, and why is it such a big deal if some people want to spend lots of money to make their car over the top? I'm sure some people would think it's ridiculous to mod a civic or to spend lots of money making a civic fast...

I've had fun at NOPI the two times I've been there.

[laokid]

omg i hope this is true!

[quickdodge®]

but the foundation of national car shows have been taking cars to extreme measure both cosmetically and performance wise.

Lolol. Yeah.


, and why is it such a big deal if some people want to spend lots of money to make their car over the top?

Kind of weird you should ask that considering the posts you've been making.


omg i hope this is true!

Lolol. Later, QD.

[Fastlife Mag]

gymkhana (head to head drifting)

They fail already

Im with you man, YES all car shows do have a certain amount of "ricers" in them, its unfortunately part of the import scene and probably always will be to some extent...I have been to many Nopi shows and have (2) top 3 trophies sitting in storage, BUT more than other shows they provided a breeding ground and supported the ricer movement more than any other show I have been to, simply put, Nopi is out of date, and out of touch with what a REAL CAR SHOW should be

[down_shift]

I have to say reading some of the responses here I have to wonder if anyone on this board pay attention to anything that happens in the ATL "spo com" scene? Seriously people dont even know if Nopi is around or not anymore? pull your head out of the sand.

the number one thing you have to realize that Nopi Nats was NEVER about the car scene it was about the money to be made from it. the main way to get lots of people to enter was to throw in 2 free tickets per entry which under cut the gate pricing. HIN is in the same piss poor shape Nopi was in so I think its safe to say they are both latching on to each other to stay afloat.

[CHADbee]

i agree with alot of what is being said here but ill still be there! :D

[quickdodge®]

the number one thing you have to realize that Nopi Nats was NEVER about the car scene it was about the money to be made from it.

Not true at all. You should have been at the NOPI shows back when they were good and about cars. Back in the late 1980's/early 1990's. When it first began, it was all about the Volkswagen. Then mini-trucks and a few old school American cars started hitting it up. Then lowriders. And finally, in the very late 1990's, the import tuners came through. Later, QD.

its like the FnF movies, IA cant bitch all they want but 95% of us will be at nopi and at the movies opening night lol

[HypnoToad]

I never went to nopi and i live bout 15mins from AMS. I never went cause people seemed to get excited bout seeing the music performances or bikini contest over seeing the cars,I've always had better time at small meets then big ones.

but I hope it works out for em.

[marcos713]

its like the FnF movies, IA cant bitch all they want but 95% of us will be at nopi and at the movies opening night lol

lol true! i know im going! :D

July is going to be fun being that the summer IA is going to be the week before this :goodjob:

[blown_ss]

i'll be there. it gives you something to do for a weekend. since i live like 20 min from there i will most likely enter in my car since its cheaper. lol.

[TonyStark007]

.....rebirth of the NOPI NATS......i don't know about this....and tied together with HIN....two wrongs don't make a right....but who am i to judge....

[Turbomom]

I think it is funny that no one in Atl knows that nopi is still around I'm in Indianapolis and I knew that...lol
I will be going to this and believe me no one in Atl can complain about the import scene til someone comes up here it sucks. So I looks forward to IA and shows like Nopi...That is geared towards imports...We aren't the west coast so we get screwed on hot shows and meets!

[RsonGt3's]

Cant wait going fo sho

good point. I was only talking about the show in its later "lifestyle" 98-07 years. I never attended when it was VW show put on by a VW parts company.

[BITCHING]

well the way i look at it a car show is rice its not a race track.its a car show

[Elbow]

Oh God this is going to be the biggest rice fest ever and I am so going to get my ass beat laughing at people.

[Spagheddy]

i love this, another reason to request off work and get drunk...wooo hoooo

[patrick2876]

finally back?

[Kamikaze]

i agree with alot of what is being said here but ill still be there! :D

This.

[civicmantim]

I think it will be something worth checking out there's no way it can be as bad as the motorsports nationals.

[H1Cblacknight]

DONT GET CONFUSED. NOPI MOTORSPORTS NOT NOPI NATIONAL CAR SHOW. 2 COMPANIES. ONE NOW BANKRUPT.

[Black4DrEK]

Hellz yea!

[quickdodge®]

DONT GET CONFUSED. NOPI MOTORSPORTS NOT NOPI NATIONAL CAR SHOW. 2 COMPANIES. ONE NOW BANKRUPT.

Not sure what to say about this. Later, QD.

[EK9*JDM1]

finally back? i'll be there..

[SC400TUNER92]

Lol Ricers are like the fat sister you dont want to admit you have. Yeah they corny as hell and some time they get a little two existed with the stickers from walmart, but why is it every time some one wants to rag on ricers ya have to bring up the fast and the furious lol. Maybe there is no clear defenition to what a ricer actually is i mean after all the cars on fast in the furious are selected from actuall car enthusiast, and mistubishi was nice enough to even produce a nice evo and eclipse specificly for 2 fast 2 furious.

I mean im starting to wonder if some people just use the word ricer as the N word of the car world just because its of asian decent, cause honestly some of ya would piss ya pants to have cars like what they have in them movies, but truth be told ya dont. Its a shame that in 2010 everything in the US is still all about race and colors even with a black president.. So what if some one likes chrome on they cars, so what if they want to low ride it and air bag it i mean real street machines date back from old school Impalas sitting on wire rims and 10 inch steering wheels. Why dont all ya atlanta folks go over the west coast and tell them how gay there cars are or how they are ricers? i mean really stop hatting..

HIN and NOPI together at last well frankly its goin to be a joke cause its too little to late both have fallen flat even in the tunning scene, they will never revive the old Nopi Nationals and frankly no one who ever went can say it just sucked. As for all the people complaining about the ricers at the show well this aint comunist china witch is technically the country ya are implying by using the word "ricer" im sure there if you feel like paying 45 dollars to enter your car in show even if its a ford escort they wont walk around goin oh look at the "hotdog mobile" or look at the "bush mobile" or hey look there goes an "economy disaster" or the "welfare car"....

Get over it people on a budget that want gas economical sports inspired looking cars, they have the right to express them self through their car while it might not meet your approval, In all reallity no one really asked you for it, now pull out ya period tampons and if you happen to walk by a honda you dont like guess what, KEEP WALKING!! As for the cry baby that posted behind me, really?? is that the best 5 yr old responce you have??. That further illustrates my point of how ignorant people can be, i think we can add another or new name to the list of tuner dishes. We have been called Gear Heads, Motor heads, Plastic car fans, Pocket Rocket drivers, Street Racers, the list goes on and on. But i call for a moment of silence in honoring the retards that drive buckets that they mouth and power windows run faster than they car. Being of foreign decent i have been called a few things in my time in the south but i will say it at least took them ignorent folks observation, but dont call a fork a spoon my friend.

I also forget some of use still need bananas and flash cards cause our short vocabulary can only read so long before our heads hurt. Maybe you can wake up go suck your thumb and watch Dora the Explorer unless by your means of classyfying she is ricer too since i just seems to be your random word of the day :).

[down_shift]

LEARN TO SPELL. Grammar helps. ohh and try paragraphs. ricer.

Nopi shows were the best when they were held at Lakewood IMO.

[EG_Ryder]

if everyone on here entered their cars then it wouldnt be a complete rice fest lol...dont complain about the car shows going to shit and not do anything about it! You could make a lot of the spectators, that go to the shows that aren't really into the car scene as much, finally see what some clean ass cars look like

[JDM onlyy]

Why complain? Its going to happen. Might as well enter your car and hope you're around another clean car and grab a few beers and just hang out. Better than sitting at home and wishing there was something to do.

[BITCHING]

yea the lakewood days were the shit anyone rember the joker from back in the day. but the only down fall was walking up them dam hills at lake wood.

[Nemesis]

OMG OMG OMG OMG NOPI OMG !!!


DO WE GET TO PAY 90 BUCKS A TICKET TO SEE SOME NASTY ASS RICERS AND SOME NO NAME ASS RAPPERS?


OH GEEE I HOPE SO, I HOPE I GET TO SEE SOME NASTY STD SKANKS TOO

T.I. and Ludacris performed 2 years. Although it raised the ticket prices through the freaking roof just because they were there.

[Nemesis]

^^ Have you even been? It's not all ricers. There are some, but it is fun if you ask me. Bunch of fuckin whiny faggots on this thread man. If you don't like it, don't go. There are some cool parts about it, why don't you talk about those instead of being fucking homo.

LOL Shut up noob.


I had been going to Nopi since 2000. Its garbage. Nopi is garbage. Mike Meyers and his crew are garbage. HIN isnt that much better. They fucked over a lot of people that last year they were in Atlanta. The only decent cars that go are in the booths, and I dont have to pay 70+ bucks to see them.


So quit defending your trashy ass rice shows and go buy your 3A Racing Seats elsewhere.

[Tracy]

Awesome, so both of the events series that screwed Atlanta are teaming up. Birds of a feather.

[Aethir X]

..

[Nemesis]

Yeah since I have 3A racing seats? I don't even know what those are, so fuck you you piece of shit, you don't even know me. I don't go to look at rice cars, who the fuck in their right mind would do that. I go to look at the good one's the booth cars that you mentioned, dumbass.

How did Nopi fuck up Atlanta? God, you people are fucking shallow.

I never paid dick to get into the show cause I knew the stage announcer. I would never pay to go to the car show.

BY THE FUCKING WAY, this is IMPORT Atlanta, not fucking Ford Fucking Mustang Atlanta, so FUCK OFF. Cock smoking piece of shit. Bunch of whiny ass cunts, go troll elsewhere stupid ass fucks.

Aww heres a tampon, you're bleeding. You obviously have no knowledge of what really went on and the things both HIN and NOPI did to Atlanta's scene. Import Atlanta? News flash, the owner/co owner of IMPORT Atlanta owns a Corvette you idiot.


So go back to fucking playing Tokyo Extreme Racer and crawl back under that shit hole you came from.

[Aethir X]

..

[down_shift]

dude, chill out. you don't know the whole story. go to the show or don't. no one cares.

[Tracy]

How did Nopi fuck up Atlanta? God, you people are fucking shallow.

LOL. Use the search and you might find what you are looking for. I didn't say they fucked up anything. I did however say they fuckED Atlanta.


I never paid dick to get into the show cause I knew the stage announcer. I would never pay to go to the car show.



And here is the issue. You are trying to defend your friend but you don't know the whole story because you haven't looked into it. I also know J-Bird and Jeremy and I'm pretty sure neither of them are too excited about the event series either.

No more posts foe me on the topic. People who have been doing this a while know what time it is and none of us here need to explain. God the turn around in the industry is so fast. That's the real problem. Organizations can get away with what they do because the people in the industry rotate in and out so often. Sadly, for some of us it's our careers and we are here to stay. It's not a fad in my life.

[Crazy Asian]

Crap I rather have the Eibach meet or Old School Long Beach meet in Cali then this POS NOPI AND HIN.

the thing is the same people that are at those meets, used to go to the NOPI nationals.

Please guys it's not that hard to be a little nice and explain things instead of treating me like shit.




Boo fucking hoo, go cry about it nancy.

[Aethir X]

[Nemesis]

Wow do you ever shut the fuck up? God damn



Have yoou looked at my post count or you too busy buying your stage 4 turbo upgrade in Midnight Club, paul walker?

[Aethir X]

..

[Nemesis]

Obviously I already said you have 26,000 posts you tool, so it's clear to me you have nothing better to do than sit on here and pretend to moderate posts with your fucking insatiable asshole ego.


Not the first time someone has called me an asshole, but you sure make things easy for me pumpkin.

[Aethir X]

[Nemesis]

See, we're in agreement then, you're an asshole. :)

And you're a no good dirty rice lover. :)

[SC400TUNER92]

Well ill put in my two cents, but i been into the car scene ever since i could get behind a wheel of a car, frankly i never too much cared for what NOPI or HIN stood for, ofcourse id allways price check them first but more times than none i dint shop from either any one in conjuction with them, i still remember when i walked into NOPI at forest park to try to get a body kit for my SC400 and i got a preaching from the guy behind the counter because i mentioned i could get the same kit from a local shop and not pay shipping, he went on and on and praised NOPI like their kits came from the car kit gods and how wrong i was for goin in and even asking, needless to say that was my last trip to nopi to shop for anything, so i cant say NOPI changed my tuner experience heck if anything i enjoy the local meets alot more, i wish some one would say how nopi fucked atlanta rather than beatting around the bush but frankly i dont get how a city with such a rich car culture gets passed over so many times for movies like fast and furious ect (and im sorry if some of ya aint fans of the movies but i am) i just dont get how we get passed over for LA 2x and Miami and Tokyo and from my understanding now Brazil is where the 5th fast and furious is reported to be goin to be filmed at, and ill go on record of say it i officially retire the word RICER out of my vocabulary and ill call it as i see it and for what they really are cause too many in here make the habit of throwing out the word RICER like churches chicken sells boxes of chicken on a wensday... the word is "Posers" ( you see how dosnt come from the cars ethnicity lol that meas you can call all makes reguardless where from a derogatory term and be racially biased) and oh yeah dont get ya period all on me cause i didnt capitalize every word or spell every word to a college level or use comas in the right places ect ect ect

[Crazy Asian]

the thing is the same people that are at those meets, used to go to the NOPI nationals.

True. But at least they arent stuck in that phase still.

[UpSideDownDesi]

like all others...i won't be attending. Unless it's free to get in. Why say no to free?

[Vteckidd]

when will people learn that this big ass car show crap is DEAD and it is NEVER COMING BACK. Look at the attendance levels for the last 5 years i bet they are steadily declining if not falling off a cliff. HIN stopped coming here because PEOPLE DIDNT GO. NOPI stopped doing the NOPI Motorsports Nationals because PEOPLE STOPPED GOING and manufactures STOPPED PAYING TO SHOW UP . It was a shitty return on the investment. I mean booths at nopi for Vendors were from $2000-100,000.

The best "shows" they will have now is some local put together event with marketing and advertising through internet forums.

Gone are the days of driving the super street tour to nopi.

Sheesh no wonder Nopi went out of business they have NO FUCKING clue what the market is like today.

[Vteckidd]

there was ALWAYS two companies.

NOPI MOTORSPORTS put on all the events like the National Show, the NDRA, etc.

Nopi Parts was the warehouses and distribution centers that slanged body kits and neons.

Nopi PARTS went out of business , they owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to suppliers , they just bled money. they may have reopened but they are nowhere near the capacity they were at before

Nopi MOTORSPORTS cancelled the NOPI DRIFT and the NDRA events and ultimately the National Show. However it doesnt really cost them anything if they dont put a show on. So if they see an opportunity to make money they can do it and try to charge at the door and entry fees etc.

[BITCHING]

NOPI WENT DOWN WEN THAT GIRL GOT KILLED THERE

I hope you're wrong because I enjoy those big shows...hopefully this show will be worth it and they can pull something together

[Vteckidd]

Well for some reason people stopped going and stopped entering. That's why they went under.

97-04 is gone and it's never coming back

[Tracy]

HIN actually stopped coming because they overbooked their last show here leaving 100's of people with tickets standing outside all day. Rather then fix it, they never came back. That's how I remember it anyways.

[Nemesis]

There was a guy with a bad ass RX-7 and R34 in the front of the lines that had been there for most of the day, they even got rid of gas in their tanks so theyd comply, only to be told there was no room at the end of the day.

[lxpaulxl]

I still cant wait!

[1SICKLEX]

Bad weather also played a part....Hurricanes hit Florida I believe in 07 and that hurt the turnout from there.....

Maybe I'm just appreciative but I really REALLY could appreciate the fact one of if not the biggest car show in America was RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. I didn't have to drive to Nashville, to Miami, to NY, anywhere.

It was right here.

I always had a great time when I went as did our club. It was cool b/c someone with a Lexus would always debut something "new". So what if there was a lot of rice and yeah the judging wasn't the best but overall there were thousands of cars inside the show and outside parking and if you loved cars it was great.

The logistics of holding an event are mind bobbling. I can't imagine the insurance policy that had to be purchased. It is sad the prices went up, bad weather came into play and maybe some decisions were not the best (more drifting, concerts).....I don't know.

What I do know is it was sad it went away and a one of a kind event is gone. Hopefully this is the start of something new.

Hell my PARENTS went to the NOPI Nationals just to see cars, get some free stuff, and enjoy something fun that was close.

[alpine_aw11]

I will be in attendance. Times have changed, it won't be all rice. Shit the car scene needs the meets like Nopi to return....it brings everyone together. I know there will be a lot of cars there I think are ugly/stupid, but the car scene needs to grow out of what it is, noone appreciates anything other than their ebay parts anymore.

We? You have a turd in your pocket? LOLZ.

yes tracy.... I have a turd.

[Tracy]

I was just checking. My dad always loves to use that line on me.

[eg mike]

I always had fun at Nopi.... hang out with good friends, see women, make fun of rice good times

[OldSchool87]

I was just checking. My dad always loves to use that line on me.

haha ..lol. I just like to vent every now and then

[Tracy]

Do your thang bro. We all do it. Just can't be mad when someone doesn't agree, that's all.

[85Zbum]

people are saying it died in 02 but i went in 07 and it was pretty bad ass. there was riced out cars yea but there were some nice ass cars out there too. i just liked the drifting and all the free stuff!! but everyone loves free stuff! oh but we cant forget the sexy models!!!!!!!!!:boobies:

i'll be there!!:tongue1:

I liked the drifitng in '07, too. There was this chick who could do donuts like no one's business. I think her name was Tracy or some shit.

[Elbow]

I will be in attendance. Times have changed, it won't be all rice. Shit the car scene needs the meets like Nopi to return....it brings everyone together. I know there will be a lot of cars there I think are ugly/stupid, but the car scene needs to grow out of what it is, noone appreciates anything other than their ebay parts anymore.

Depends on what you think is rice. To me the old body kit and primered look is just as equal to the VIP/Stance/Fitment/$$$$ Wheels/etc.

[OldSchool87]

hahaha. yeah her name was tracy but the car was ran by remote.... ooooohhh. Glen had some pics of that but i missed the acual thing from haveing to work the booth and all. by the way the show is confirmed for AMS july31st / aug1st
just got word last night.

[SC400TUNER92]

I dont think NOPI was all rice if anything it just was a better put together show than most shows each particular make had its own section it wasnt just 5 hondas next to 3 chevys next to 2 audis, they had structure to it i mean common sence would tell you at NOPI that if your standing some where and you have hondas to your left and right its no accident your standing in the honda lot... how the hell you expect to see a mustang in the honda lot??? :thinking: maybe you need to look again but that cant possibly nothing but just ricers, where you at the right nopi show or did some one sell you tickets to something that sounded like nopi and you ended up at a hyunday dealer lol

do you yell at kids walking on your grass too?

[quickdodge®]

they had structure to it

This part was meant to be a joke, yes? There was absolutely nothing about NAPI to compliment except that it probably brought good revenue to Lovejoy and Hampton. It's not very well structured if you don't even have to show up to win.


maybe you need to look again but that cant possibly nothing but just ricers, where you at the right nopi show or did some one sell you tickets to something that sounded like nopi and you ended up at a hyunday dealer lol

Another joke? Now please don't take this as a continuing "attack" on you (remember we made good between us), but I've seen your car and I can see why you think NAPI wasn't a rice-fest. The ONLY reasons why nice cars showed up is for the magazine coverage, sponsor mandated and for the easy trophy. The last good NOPI show was before the "tuners" started showing up.

Again, I'm not bashing you from the previous as we should be past that. Later, QD.

[SC400TUNER92]

i get where you coming from QD i do, and i mean yeah i get that your a muscle car guy, but i guess with time comes change and i know alot of people might label me a ricer cause i have clear tail lights on my car i mean thats really about the only mod that stands out on my car aside from the paint job, but i have just learned to let peoples opinion bother me, i mean to be honest i dont have a preference between import or new age muscle and old school i mean truth be told id never pick an new school mustang over a classic fast back, but not every one has a west coast customs close by or a unique auto car shop down the street and a couple grand to say here ill be back in 3 days to pick it up... as for NOPI individually in my own opinion and i cant say im any more right or wrong than any one but i think they just let greed get to them and they started spending more money than they made and tried to get us to pay for it and then hit a pot whole, i mean maybe your opinion or a couple others opinion might be oh just a bunch of crappy cars but realisticly speaking its a blue collar car show, hell that car show attracks people from as far as canada and besides maybe japan and some places in europe im sure their car shows or car at the shows aint even half as nice because not every one makes enough money to be able to buy and fully mod an m3 bmw or a mustang fast back... as for the scene here in local atlanta i think its 50/50 i mean i went to import alliance there was no shortage of tuners there and then i went to Atlanta Drag Nights last night and there was more people signed up for the drag racing that for the show and shine show, i mean what does that tell you and over half of those folks where muscle cars... and what i meant by structure in nopi is at least they separate the lots by makes i mean i dont know how much more you could disect it any more unless you brake it down by year make and model of the car per lot and that would be a bit to much, as far as winning with out being there i dont know nothing about that , as far as it being a revenue booster well i mean its just a black whole thats bound to happen you add 10000 tourist to a town revenue will be genarated but i mean Nopi is tho the only company that hosts shows in atlanta and theres really no where else they can hold that particular carshow.. my opinion and this is just me the main thing i didnt like about Nopi is the dumb burn out contest i honestly rather see drag racing.. and as far as my car goes i mean to be honest im not goin to change my car cause some one else dont like it im mind full of others opinions and im not goin to act as if mine is better, id tell a muscle car guy nice ride just like i would a honda guy just like i would a bmw guy honestly i dont discriminate, i love to see an old school big block chew up and spit out a honda just like i love to see one of them pocket rocket hondas smoke them 350z ect ect, but honestly to finish my long ass paragraph up NOPI never has been nor ever will be the worst organized car show ever and i honestly dont believe they are out to put a bad name on the car scene or steal every ones money, even though they do take more than what they entitled too

i'm deff going to HIN! i'm so glad they're finally coming to ATL!

thats a joke right?

^^^ Man, what are you so uptight about? Later, QD.

[cprtyler]

i would def say its a fun show. im doing my best to get my car finished so i can take it. ive seen alot of cool cars there then i have also see alot of jokes there either way i love all cars and rather your a ricer, muscle head, or honda junky, or jdm freak ill c you there!

[85Zbum]

^^^ Man, what are you so uptight about? Later, QD.

guess i cant say anything else. u'll just keep adding points on the infractions.:gay:

[quickdodge®]

As long as you're cool about it, you can say. Just wondering wh you're so hostile towards me and tracy...for no reason. The infractions are something you brought on yourself for your unprovoked actions. Later, QD.

[T.S.]

Anyone who has been in the car scene for a long time knows that this is a bad idea. Some of you fan boys obviously werent around when shit got bad here. Or even could know what actually went on behind the scenes. Go on, keep believing this is for the good.. But when you get to the door and they charge you 100$ and your left testicle to get in and you dont get judged, or you get judged for 5 seconds but you happened to park next to a cleaner car and he gets judged for 20 minutes. I will be happy to laugh in your face. Oh and lets not forget the free stuff... Yes, Stickers and posters. WOW!!!

[SC400TUNER92]

Such hostility in this post lol as far as for the show being good or not thats sort of irrelevent i mean its what we have so i mean i dont see no one else sitting here preaching the doom of the tuner scene organizing any kind of car show doing any better its allways easy to point out flaws when you spend 2 days at one car show or more than one carshow hell you can follow the whole tour the whole schedule and while it might not look like it im sure it took them longer than that to plan it, now yes its fucked up they charge so much thats why i appreciatte the tuner coulture in atlanta and the car meets all i can say is keep supporting the tuner scene in what ever way you see best cant no body tell you what car show to go to or witch show to support or what to and not to like that seems to be the biggest most popular thing here judgementalism but every one is entitled to they own opinion and labeling dosnt make you look any smarter dosnt really help any one follow in any ones cause to expose any one no matter what name you may pick.. tuner,ricer, fan boy, ban wagon jumper, ect if you where cheated by nopi or hin by allmeans get yours before they get theres, if you just plain and simply dont like the show for your own personal reasons thats fine too personally ill still go just like i go to friday night drags for the show n shine just like i go to import alliance just like i go to the local rellay for life shows and several other shows cause at the end of the day im not there to judge mark meyers or the owner of hin or the nopi chicks or any one who buys tickets im there for one reason CARS

[Tracy]

Can you redo that with some periods and capital letters? I really tried to read it, but it hurts my eyes. I am not being a smart ass, I am just saying that if you take the time to type a wall of text, at least make sure it's readable for those who might enjoy your opinion.

As far as for the show being good or not thats sort of irrelevent, I mean it's what we have so I mean I don't see no one else sitting here preaching the doom of the tuner scene organizing any kind of car show doing any better. It's always easy to point out flaws when you spend 2 days at one car show or more than one carshow. Hell you can follow the whole tour, the whole schedule and while it might not look like it im sure it took them longer than that to plan it, now yes its fucked up they charge so much thats why I appreciatte the tuner culture in Atlanta and the car meets. All I can say is keep supporting the tuner scene in what ever way you see best. No body can tell you what car show to go to, or which show to support or what to and not to like. That seems to be the biggest most popular thing here judgementalism, but every one is entitled to their own opinion and labeling doesn't make you look any smarter and doesn't really help any one follow in any ones cause to expose any one no matter what name you may pick.. tuner,ricer, fan boy, ban wagon jumper, ect if you were cheated by nopi or hin by allmeans get yours before they get theres, if you just plain and simply dont like the show for your own personal reasons thats fine too. Personally, i'll still go just like i go to friday night drags for the show n shine, just like i go to import alliance, just like i go to the local relay for life shows and several other shows cause at the end of the day im not there to judge mark meyers or the owner of hin or the nopi chicks or any one who buys tickets im there for one reason CARS.


That is the best I can do with this.

[quickdodge®]

i dont see no one else sitting here preaching the doom of the tuner scene organizing any kind of car show doing any better

You haven't been around long enough. I've been in this since 1986. Later, QD.

[SC400TUNER92]

Thats good QD no im not as old as you, granted i cant change that then again id most of the people on the site aint nearly as old as you. The point being import atlanta hasnt been around half as long as you have, ok the point is?? no i may have not been around the car scene since 86 cause quite frankly i was 6yrs old.
At the same time no one can turn back the hands of time and take you back to 86 im sure things where better back in 86 like gas prices ect, but i dont think your goin to go sit in krogers on the floor and protest the cost of milk. I have no control over what the car scene does no one in this forum is at fault for nopi or hin over charging or not judgin cars, so im just tryin to figure out what exactly ya older member of the site suggest ok so some of ya joined back in 01 some in 03 some in 05 granted ya know the atlanta scene better than any one.
It would be nice if rather than eggin on whats wrong with it and pointing out what happened 3 years ago maybe ya actually say what ya mean and mean what ya say and im not just talking about you QD this aint a stab or a shot at any one. All im saying is if you dont like it or dont have a prior good experience or it dosnt tickle your fancy or it aint your type of show or if you plain and simply dont want to go THEN DONT. Its the same thing as a guy wanting to get a hair cut and goin to a salon when hes gone to a barber all his life or the other way around a female goin to a barber shop to get her hair done when she is acustomed to a salon.
Way before i was into sports compacts and imports i was into mini trucks witch is way much further back that this generation of tuners. You know what thought when mini truck shows became part of a dying breed i didnt got to car shows to go kick tires and tell some one in a hyundai how shity it looks cause its not what i want it to look like. Cause at the end of the day they put they money into it, its there hobby and they have to drive it.
To be honest i dont have half the experience some of ya may have working on cars and just because we live in different countys, different citys, different states, drive different cars, or even speak different languages id never once refuse to sit down and have a talk about cars. I would never go to classic car show and compare a tuner show to their show cause its not the same thing, like quite frankly im sure im possitive that a show in 86 or 90 or 95 or 00 even are different than what they are now.
What i dont understand is why we havent come to terms yet with generational differences part of it its called maturing. I grew up lissening to kriss kross and stripped shirts and LAgears and a bunch of other shit i dont walk around angry at the world cause kids wear skinny jeans and lisen to solja boy or watch harry poter. All i can say is i feel where some of ya coming from i respect what ya have done for the tuner scene, but dont point a finger at us or make us feel like we are anyless of car enthusiast for being born after you or not liking what you like....

[GSRcaucAZN78]

Do not pay/register before making sure these events are legit. HIN has yet to give refunds and payouts to many of last years competitors that I know of. The 2010 events they supposedly have scheduled are not listed on the track websites (New England, Etown, LVMS, etc).

[quickdodge®]

All im saying is if you dont like it or dont have a prior good experience or it dosnt tickle your fancy or it aint your type of show or if you plain and simply dont want to go THEN DONT.

I don't go. I went in 2001 only because I went with a Dodge Neon club and they paid our way in. I didn't even go the second day.


but dont point a finger at us or make us feel like we are anyless of car enthusiast for being born after you or not liking what you like....

I didn't see anyone saying that. I brought up being in this since '86 to let you know that I've paid my dues in doing things. Later, QD.

[JITB]

i think the show is gonna be nice, ive heard alot of out of towners mention coming to Atlanta for it, so thats always a plus. Regardless of what happened behind the scenes, we honestly could give 2 shits about who screwed IA over. We just want a nice event, if its over priced people wont go if its decently priced people will show up. 70% of the people going at each other about what they will and will not support rarely come out to anything anyway. I mean its not like theres a Tunerfest to look forward too as of yet. All that matters is how much, when, and where do we park...

[quickdodge®]

70% of the people going at each other about what they will and will not support rarely come out to anything anyway. .

You included. It's all about quality. NAPI is all about quantity. Quality and quantity don't usually go hand in hand. I've done plenty of events so what you said is not me. Later, QD.

[85Zbum]

well yall talk down on it all u want. i know there will be thousands of people there including me. shit i met bam margeras parents last time i went. i think its gonna be pretty cool. better than any of the lame ass stuff going on around here lately

[quickdodge®]

i know there will be thousands of people there

I highly doubt it will even reach 1,000. More like a few hundred.


shit i met bam margeras parents last time i went.

How is that cool? And how does that make NAPI any good?


better than any of the lame ass stuff going on around here lately

As far as lame stuff going on here lately, you're right on that note. As far as NAPI being better? Can't agree. All NAPI will be is a larger version of the same shit you see here. Later, QD.

i go to the bigger shows, i catn make alot of the smaller ones i always forget.. but im there. i didnt said it was you! i just said it! IA wants to fight HIN and NOPI they should 1 up it, the people are here, we are just waiting for something to be put together. Ia is big, but its not big in the Scene outside of the georgia borders, and it should be!

Best advice in this entire thread.

[Axix23]

i think they should of stayed with this event in Sept. Way too close to Import Alliance Nashville.. This event will fall in shadow of Import Alliance's quality/attendance no doubt...

[lokciv02]

I registered for HIN - Knoxville, TN last year... then the show got cancelled and have yet to get a refund... On their site they have refunds link posted for 09... I filled out info and got an e-mail back saying I would have a refund within 10 business days... That was back in February, still waiting... And I know at least 10 other people that it happened to as well... I don't plan on going ...

[T.S.]

Ia is big, but its not big in the Scene outside of the georgia borders, and it should be!

Do you know what kinda of capital it takes to put a show on the caliber of the last Nopi or HIN?? Between finding a location for enough vehicles, insurance, vendor spacing, then judging and whatever else goes on. To make a show that could +1 up HIN and Nopi, well I think this past tunerfest was more then any of the IA staff had ever dreamed of. And the best part was, it was free. Free food, free giveaways, free dyno, shit we even got to see Abby from NOSenegydrink shake her cute ass! HIN and NOPI are hopes and dreams without the delivery. They keep up the act that they are for the car scene and they want to have an amazing show, but when you go you spend most of your time looking at the booth cars b/c thats all thats really worth looking at and you pay an arm and leg to just get into the damn place. IMO I think this whole idea is just a bad one. But again my opinion is mine. If you go, have fun! I for one will not be supporting this.

i know a few of us nissan owners are going

found a facebook page for it:

i think the show will be pretty good. i mean its the only thing going on in the state that i know of as far as a major car show. not to far of a drive for most of us

[Axix23]

yeah, i am iffy of pre-registering in case it gets cancelled or what not... Does anybody know how the parking will be like for this show? Are they just using the paved parking and no grass and gravel parking?

[Sexyskyline]

I will go if someone pays for me. I'm not wasting my money! LMFAO!!

All the people I know who pre-registered for the 09' Louisiana event never got their refunds either. The winners I know in Texas never got their payouts. It is a shame these companies try to come back as if they did no one wrong in the past.

[jdm eg6]

wat time does it start or opens?

[RL...]

OMFG EVERYONE GET YOUR NOPI STICKERS, STEP-STOOL WINGS, AND BMW FENDERS OUT BECAUSE IT'S GOING DOWNNNNNNNNNN

But seriously I can't wait. Ga finally gets a huge event again. I had a blast at my first and last time at nopi nats on 07.

[CautionMeDC2]

edit: never mind

[down_shift]

If I can drive the "gymkana" course Sunday only I'll go down.

[RL...]

what time does it start

[veilside240]

show is from 4pm-11pm

http://hinnopi.com/index.php?vn=TIX01

for $5 off your tickets use promo code: ATLNopi

[RL...]

So does the entire event start at 4 or does just the "car show" start at 4?

[quickdodge®]

It's actually a 2 day event. Saturday from 4-11 and Sunday from 10-6. Later, QD.

[veilside240]

So does the entire event start at 4 or does just the "car show" start at 4?

if you are entering your car the roll in is at 10am. gates open at 4pm for all spectators and racing and everything starts then

[speed_ga]

anyone know what parties the VIP ticket includes?

[SC400TUNER92]

Well im glad to see some of the hostility has died down in this post lol, well as much as id like to i wont be able to go to the actual show but hey i aint worried this is atlanta why pay 40 bucks to get in when in know the same exact cars will be at the varsity on thursday and they will probably have meets long before 4pm, honestly after goin to import alliance this year i dont see my self giving up 40 bucks to get stickers and BS ... maybe if we pitch in an extra 5 bucks at import alliance next year we will get a drift show like fnftd lol j/k

[aeaddy03]

i was planning on going back to sc this week but since i found out about this i might stay til sunday. gotta think about this one.

[JADECREW NSX]

did you hear about what happened at the E-Town event? no winners announced! more info on our site... www.jadecrew.com

Yeh, good luck to them on getting their payout. Winners I know from 2009 never got their payout either.

[GSRcaucAZN78]

From jadecrew.com


A rainy weekend in Englishtown, NJ was host to the HIN/NOPI car show this past weekend. At the shows end, car show participants were upset, and for a very good reason, because the NOPI-HIN staff tells them they will not be annoucing winners and they will just mail home the trophies. Really?!? With years of experience throwing events you figure this would not happen. Well the participants have spoken and the following videos says it all. Not a good start to a car show series when the country is craving quality events

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLysxoidV5A&feature=related

Some winners I know personally never got their payouts in 2009 either.
