what the slut said^^^^^^
I think it sux. Based solely on the fact that I have never been. The largest "show" I ve been to is Nopi. Oh well, shit happens.
Get used to it folks. It's not just about Atlanta, it's about $.
If a promoter loses money, they will not want to come back. It's simple math. Yes HIN this year was handled like crap IMO (people not getting in, bad judging, etc) but to be honest there aren't very many other choices right now. It's either support them or they leave. If I was running it, I'd do the same thing to be honest.
I think way too many people look at Cali and think that we should be just like that just by asking. It doesn't work that way. Hell even in Cali they have super rice fests, but they have 100 ricers paying bucks to show their rice. Promoters then come back to have 100 more. That's business. Everyone wants a mega cool and hip show, but don't want to pay more than $5 to get in. Doesn't work that way. People need to realize that putting on a show in a parking lot takes a ton of work, let alone in an indoor venue where you have to a lot more logistical problems to deal with than outside. Fire Marshalls all freaking day, security, staff, vendors, the venue, etc.....all that costs lots of money. Money that has to be put out in large part before the event even starts. If a promoter then tallies up all the stuff and STILL loses money, why come back?
I've been right in the middle of helping put together several shows, including one most of you guys have attended (our annual SELOC meet). That's a charity event and nothing like HIN or NOPI, and trust me......it aint easy to pull it off. So trust me, think about that before complaining too much.

dude i'm already sweating TunerFest v.3 :eek: :crazy: :tongue:Quote:

Before you type, think people. To be clear I doubt any comment here was untruthful, but leaving a bad taste in the deep pocket mouths will turn them away, please stay positive...
As far as Nopi goes IMO it will always remain the super bowl of ATL car shows, it was built here and is a nation-wide standard “thank God”. Because of sheer visitor/participant numbers it should remain, we are lucky to have it, be supportive…!
Last, IA taking over the show from that other board was a huge improvement, the turnout is now enormous and should be the same this year. Well done Julio, Pablo and Paul, I’m looking forward to a bigger and better 06 show! Paul if you guys need any help this year just say the word. And may the weather God’s be with us this time around ;)

Pulled from the other thread...
As paul mentioned the "hybrid" events are where it's at...promotors need to cater to more than one specific group of people to stay alive.Quote:

so i say fuk em.
last, i wish there would be a tokyo auto salon type show that tours the
country. they had one in cali last year and no reason to not continue for the
rest of usa.
fuc HIN bc they didnt throw out eoung free shirts and shit ne way. Plus they didnt do the go-cart challange last year. I was in first place the year b4 til the the other team T-boned me in the middle of a turn so one of their guys could get past me.
im with ya Ren! its also sucks but ia can pull off a better show :goodjob:Quote:
