HIN and NOPI working together in a new show series. Coming to Atlanta 7-31/8-1

[JITB]

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.

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!

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).

Best advice in this entire thread.

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...

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 ...

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 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.

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

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

[GSRcaucAZN78]

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

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

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