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.

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

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.
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.
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.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.
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.

dude, chill out. you don't know the whole story. go to the show or don't. no one cares.
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.
True. But at least they arent stuck in that phase still.
like all others...i won't be attending. Unless it's free to get in. Why say no to free?
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.

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

NOPI WENT DOWN WEN THAT GIRL GOT KILLED THERE
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

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.
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.
I still cant wait!
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.

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.
do you yell at kids walking on your grass too?
We? You have a turd in your pocket? LOLZ.
yes tracy.... I have a turd.

I always had fun at Nopi.... hang out with good friends, see women, make fun of rice good times
Do your thang bro. We all do it. Just can't be mad when someone doesn't agree, that's all.
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!!
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.
