    THe deal is simple, We need to support the scene in our area. Even if you dont go, help keep event is ATL, or you'll be in Charlotte every week to do something. Its that simple.
    I realize HIN charlotte is a BIG event, If I could I'd go simply for exposure. The issue is and has always been NCCA favors some groups, and not others. Just like F' D 2 years back when NCCA screwed that event up from almost every car show goers perspective.
    Do I dislike NCCA, NO, do I feel the tables are obviousally slanted? YES, w/ great reason. (when BOS is determined BEFORE the show starts, I have a prob w/ that...as was the case 3 years ago at a show I wont name when an IA staffer, and another guy on this thread judged all cars, found Jeff G won BOS by 7 points, and they (NCCA) still awarded Jay Laub BOS...THATS CRAP...cheating, underminded, and as wrong as a organization can be) They couldnt even give the judges an explination outside of "Jays RX7 wins, thats final". Mind you this is when it was blk and basic. Then add how last year went, c'mon.
    I wish the Charlotte crowd the best, we'll be here chillin w/ Slipstream and Formula D.

    I agree, NCCA is very as you say slanted on thier ways of judges, and I remember 2 years ago at HIN when i parked next to you and a guy with a stick on wide body kit that was only being held on by 3m tape beat you, that was some BS!!!

    Yup, they said in thier defense "A widebody always beats a normal car" I asked, even when its a stick on kit laying on the floor, and the hood and trunk are closed....." I got no answer. All the NCCA staff knew they'd been caught, several even appologized to me..... the ring leader called me a trouble maker.
    A$$!

    you are a trouble maker

    na, whats funny is the same NCCA judges here used to do those whitley shows down south and we know about those shows... their judges wouldn't know the difference in a SI, GTI, STI, if it bit them in the ass. :jerkit:
