If you guys are serious we should meet and talk about doing something next year.
Why not have something like a Honda day? You get the best of both crowds, make money and have fun.. I'm no marking guy, but someone should inform the guys doing IA, that they could double their attendance (profit) by adding drag racing!!
They fucked up bad at this last event, WHY have a event at a drag strip and not rent the track? bahahahah, their mistake cause I'm sure people where mislead thinking the track would be open.. SMH!!
Well you get me a plane ticket and I will come line cars up, my shits to slow to race..lolQuote:

NOPI had a shot at doing it this year, but i bet their show will FAIL, ive heard nothing good about anyone going.
My idea would be to throw a better show, make the money, and use that to fund the drag racing event later on in the year when people want to go.
I said the samething,but i heard before the event that it was put out their for intrest in drag racing at the track and noone replied. So for them its like why pay all this extra money to rent the track and nobody would give them a response on if they wanted to race or not. BUT yet these stupid ass young kids will want to street race that night just because they didnt want to pay the extra$10 or so to race at the track.....Quote:

Maybe next year IA will get the response they want to race at the track. That is the ONLY way that event will get bigger.. think about it.... 10,000 cars at a Show AND Drag race event!! Shit would be bigger than Honda Day,IREV,events at MIR etc etc!!
Nopi blew it, and I'll be pissed if people go back.. SMH!
IA has the ball and the profit now, merge that show into a drag racing event!!
Turn the circle jerk into another worth wild event, that's my 2cents!!
THey need to market the drag racing to mimmick street racing. Thats why the north events are so popular. NO ONE wants to go watch a bunch of 14-18 second hondas race and wait an hour to run once.
They need to break it into classes that make sense. Promote it as a grudge match. Get local shops involved to go head to head. theres 1000 ways to make it better.
they need people out at Barrett and other local meets promoting it. ANd keep it CHEAP
Fuck man, get me support!! I will rep the shit, and draw #'s to the event.. I hate to copy what's going on in the north, but why not have a day in which people can come show their car, sell their parts, and RACE!!
Can't lose, just takes money like anything else!
I can come up with other names beside Honda Day.. Hell I always thought "Race Wars" sounded good, but my lack of education prevents me, not that I'm dumb, just never promoted, or done marketing.. :(
Look at the amount of people...:boobies:
Stretch what are the turn outs like? How many ruffly, and what's the winnings?? I know they give away a fucking car, so it must pull some crazy profits..:yes:

Stretch and Morris have the connections from up North, and I'm sure any of the shops in Ga will support!!Quote:

Giving away a car is just nuts, but that would draw #'s from all over!! :)
Fucking IA dropped the ball, I mean they where at the track, had 4 lanes to race on, but did nothing... WOW!!
Rewind that shit, and market IA with the racing on 4 lanes!!
Can you say Cha-Ching!!!
STANCED = CAN'T GO FAST It's very similar to when all the fat kids started getting into Korn and EMO Back in the 90's, because it was the only group of people that wouldn't goof on them.
Kind of like the skinny jeans, why are dudes trying to fit in some chicks jeans?... *face palm*
Bobby honda day draws a sell out crowd even with no give aways. honda day is a car show, drag race, wet t-shirt contest, dj playing music all day, vendors from all the stores u see online live and in person setting up booths and selling parts, vendors selling all those stickers and jdm shirts for all who are into that stuff. u also have NYCE1s, iamtaiboogie, and the rest of the video geniuses who shoot all those videos u watch on youtube live and in person. its just a whole other atmosphere there.
Vtecckidd i had an event like this in the works already, but i wasnt gonna say anything til Morris and myself put all the pieces to the puzzle correctly. ive been playing with the idea for bout 2 yrs now, but i just dont see where its worth it. i can host and event and have big names come down here to participate, REAL FAST CARS. people yall watch on youtube every day. i can get nyce1s down here in a heartbeat to shoot an event if its worth it. we can get fast cars from up north, we can get ryan chin to come back down here,etc. BUT AT THE RATE THE SCENE IS GOING IT JUST AINT WORTH THE HEADACHE FOR ME OR MORRIS TO DO!!!!!!..... we have enough headcahe here as is . If ATL step up and show that they want the drag racing scene to evolve, a good team effort could get it done, Vtecckidd included.
Mike u know i hate to tell u that ur right, but now i see why u walked away from the scene when u did. its beginning to not even be worth it. Even the performance shop around dont even come to the track anymore, its almost like a complete waste of time. I WONDER IF I GO AROUND AND TALK SHIT AND PISS EVERY IMPORT SHOP OFF THEY WILL COME OUT JUST TO SHUT ME UP??????....HAHAHAHAHA........ not even worth it.
Bottom line is, all we wanna do is race and put on a good show for people when they come out, but the scene has no support, its like beating a dead horse. My new car that im building is almost done. But i built this car according to TRUE STREET rules, so i can travel with the car to events that are worth it, that have support. this shit is getting worse here every year.
and as for turnout at this event Bobby. the last honda day we were there at ATCO RACEWAY was sold out be 11:30 and set the record for the highest attenance at a drag racing event for that venue...FYI
that shit was packed. haha
here is a video from my phone to give you an idea
CCC vs Supertech integra @ HONDA DAY 2012 - YouTube
I lived in both NYC and Providence, RI and can tell you guys that HUGE groups of people travel from RI to NJ which is about a 4-5 hr drive depending, just to go to this event.
Thats why NOPI used to be so big, it drew in people from EVERYWHERE.
I think Atlanta could do the same, and draw people from Florida(HUGE racing scene), Alabama, TN, SC and NC
I know someone that traveled from Miami ALL THE WAY to TN for IA last year.
if Atlanta held something like this, I'm sure lots op people would join, and give people reason to build their cars! which could also lead in, sponsors aiding, getting more products from high end companies sold, and parts sold! i mean who wouldn't want to do that?
in all honesty, this sounds like an amazing idea, and i would wish it would pull through!
i admire ur enthusiasm, but it wont happen. for the mere fact that in the "A" 90% of people dont believe in paying for anything. Its not a $10 entry fee its $20 or $25. Sponsors dont just come like that. its takes a lot to get sponsors nowadays, especially in the import scene. i can post tons of videos right now of people doing it big in the race scene out of there own pockets. but it is hard here. U post something for sale here and ask $250, the first response u get is "wats the bottom dollar u will take for it". Or the best one yet, " ill trade you 2 sheep and a 5 comic books for it". That mentallity is plaguing the scene stance and race both, but the race scene more than anything. Even though i see stance cars out here with $3000 wheels and stock motor with a ebay turbo kit making close to stock power....just sayinQuote:

Texas 2K seems to be an event to go to these days.
Stretch is speaking truth. This generation of car enthusiast is all about cheap. Lowball to get what you want, slap you car together. Follow the hottest trends. Honda guys (true Honda guys) get unfairly labeled when it comes to this mentality. When I was into Honda's it just seemed like a different time (Gregg you remember from back in the day). Now its not about loving what you do but riding the next trend into the ground for respect from other people.
I could give a FUCK what the next man thinks about my shit. I do what i do for me. And I think we all had that mentality. Times done changed.
I think instead of IA I will be making the pilgrimage to TX2K next year. Seems way more exciting. I missed IA in Charlotte but had planned to go.....looks/sounds like i didnt miss much.
We had a scene, NOPI was insane, and pulled record numbers for attendance... I'm only using Honda day as an example, and I know if the Nopi folks would listen they could pull it off, Nopi was a "fad", trend, lifestyle for a longtime.. Fuck dude everyone rocked the sticker..LOLQuote:

I could really care-less if someone takes my idea, so be it, I'll show up and support.. As for calling in the big doggs, I don't think it's needed..
Again I say look back at Nopi, Honda day came after Nopi.. ;)
Picture Atlanta motor speedway packed out cause it was.. 100K plus if I remember right!! WOW
It can be done, but it will take someone marketing and promoting the shit out of it, and getting people to buy in and believe its worth their while. People will spend money you just have to motivate them.
you just have to figure out the mentality of the people you are pitching too and find out what works. Its not hard. It wouldnt take a shit ton of money either. You gotta start small, try not to do to much. Car show/Drag race , if that goes well, grow it like any other business.
whoever is NOPIMAN on here is a moron.Quote:

but they dont. They are locusts. They consume consume consume and refuse to give anything back to the people they have ripped off, lied to, and bled dry over the years. Thats why they are a joke.
I was speaking of the cost to rent the track, ins, and cost to market the venue... Zmax would be nuts as a first event, but there is no telling how much the cost would be to have all 4 lanes running.. lol
Idea's are good, take the shit and run with it.. I'll collect my % when it's over.. muahahahahaha!!
You have all year to plan an event, I say Nov just because it's cooler outside..
Well said man and i Definitely want to go to one of The TX2k events. That IS the event to go too!! Espeacially with your car man..BUT...u MUST tread litely....lol.... Too many 1200whp+ cars rolling around that event... PLUS the infamous UGR guys!Quote:
