My Commentary on Nopi Nationals (Long Vent)

[Hulud]

Nopitech, your professionalism sucks.

this is why i dont buy shit from them and tell others the same

[4dmin]

Censor the word NOPI on IA and the forum will have nothing to talk about except Thong Thursdays.

If I censor the word IA on any forum or ours, nothing would change in them.

bahhhhhhh you got to be joking... NOPI is the last topic of conversation throughout the entire year until NATS rolls around. and if you did anything w/ your forum it wouldn't make a dent... your forum is DEAD

[NOPITECH]

Started over the winter, started over 5 years ago. Do the math.

2 Parking spaces? It was a 20'x20' booth on the vendor midway. There has to be reason why Mark does not answer your emails. Maybe it is because he reads all of the forums and crap that people spew about NOPI and the NDRA.

I will make the statement again, I do not work for NOPI the parts company, but rather the events company.
James did not get involved in any of this crap because he did not care what the forums thought. I guess that is my downfall, I will fight for what I think is right.

I don't post shit about our events on here, you have me confused with someone else I guess.

On a side note, did anyone see the Maxxis tires/ATD drift featuring the Batlground cars at the 2006 NOPI Nationals?

Paul, now that is posting about events.

[The Golden Child]

u suck ..

[Brett]

Im tellin ya, Your really making NOPI look good here and making people NOT want to spend thier money on a store that already rapes you in the ass deep with the prices.

You work for NOPI any comments you make represent the company you work for when you speak for them... and the space was for two cars to be parked right next to each other...

and now we know how you guys work, YOU PERSONALY DELETED MY POST ABOUT OUR EVENT, then you guys ignore emails/vm, and come on here to POST about your event. real professional

all this shit doesn't matter it only makes your company look bad and helps our stats. ( over 2000+ views already )

[The Golden Child]

and that is why IA OWNS !!!

[Hulud]

IA>NOPI


anyday

[Julio]

So let me get this straight.

NOPI sucks because those who run the buisness try and make a profit while doing the events? God, they must be morons for trying to make a living doing what they love. I mean they could do it for free like you do Julio. Actually you are one big ball of lies. You don't do shit for free, tell the masses the honest truth. Your sponsors pay for all of the stuff you do, much like NOPI/s sponsor do for them.
If you did it for free or fun like you claim, you would not have approached Mark about buying a booth at your event. I wish you would have called me about buying a booth at your event this year, I would have told you where to stick your booth after you guys telling us for the last 2 years that the track told you that we could not be there for any reason.
I believe Mark gave IA a booth for free last year at the NOPI Nationals, or as part of a trade out on advertising, am I correct? F**K yes I am. I did all of the paperwork so your sorry ass could represent your website.
Just so you know Julio, I have never had problems with Pablo, had a problem with Paul but we worked that out, so the only person at IA that I truely dispise is you. That is something that has never changed since day 1.

Just so you know Julio, there are far better car forums out there and they actually talk about cars. What a novel concept for a forum.


Mr2jzkidd, I guess Mainstream does not care about making money, and they do everything as a not for profit orginazation?
You worked there 1 whole year? WOW that is amazing on your part.



As far as proffesionalism goes, who else runs a show with over 5000 cars a year, 200+ vendors and over 100,000 spectators?

On the professionalism subject, very nice job calling my wife fat Julio. I guess I can start on your family now, huh? I am above that though, besides I have plenty of material on your dumb ass.

Also, answer your phone and be a man when I call and not ask my wife to make me stop. If you really believed in the shit you spew, you would be able to defend it on the telephone and not have to rely on being a keyboard commando.


Quickdodge, just so you know. I do not work for NOPI the parts company, I work for NOPI Motorsports and the NDRA as the tech director at the drag races. I guess if the Dodge was really quick you would get to meet me and the tech staff at an event not just spectate and cheerlead on the forums.

For all those out there who hate NOPI, you guys will recieve a booth at the 2007 NOPI Nationals on the vendor midway. It will be kind of like an area where you can promote your products. (Crying and Haterade)

Dude, just seriously, Shut up already. Your wife started talking shit.. and now you playing captain save a hoe... she dug her own hole on here.
Sponsors pay for TFS.. some did.. some did not.. we gave away free booth and did some trade off.... I dont have to lie to you dumbass or no one else.
Like I said, I have a job in real life. IA is nothing but a hobby big man. I know there better forums... But here in ga.. home of "NOPI".. IA.com has it on lock.

Why the fuck do I have to be proffesional on IA? .. .. How many times do I have to say it? IA does not put food on my table........ I have nothing to loose man. Your wife called me a thief.. I call her fat.. so whats the big deal man.. I got offended back then.. and now you little girls are offended over what I said? typical little girls.. pussy all wet and shit.

I dont have to waste my time on the phone with you.. for what ? So you can make excuses like you did in the emails you sent me before? " My wife just talks to much sometimes " I wish I still had the emails...get your wife muzzle and this wont be an issue anymore.
She dont work for Nopi, she shouldve stay out of this thread. You dont see my Girl on here.. or Pauls wife on here... Thats dumb man.
Is all in this thread man.. your wife started.. dont take a rockets scientist to see it, simple. I did not spew shit... What I have said, I will say it to you , in your office @ any NOPI headquarter/location or store...... But is useless.. Does not make any sense.... Why should I waste my time? My girl is not the problem here.

I understand shes your wife and you have to defend her.. I may do the same..... Well, maybe, I like to look at facts.. the figure out from there.. instead of coming on here and play superman and not reading.. I think all you read was what I called your wife.

yeah, please give me a booth next year.. I will fill the booth with large size poster with this thread in it...

[The Golden Child]

Quickdodge, just so you know. I guess if the Dodge was really quick you would get to meet me and the tech staff at an event not just spectate and cheerlead on the forums..

It was quick. Past tense. Just cuzz that's my name, doesn't mean it still is. It was a 2 time winner in the ATL region SCCA. Back when I was forced to have a NAPI sticker on my car or I couldn't race. I'm sure glad SCCA wised up and did away with that. Hail I don't spectate. Definitely not worth it. Here's something that'll get your heart racing then shut it down:

1......I just bought a Honda Civic!!!!! HOT DAMN! MORE SHIT FOR NAPI TO SELL TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2......It's a 78 and will look good, so it won't be in the NAPI parking lot anytime soon. Sorry.

Later, QD.

[Pablo]

is there anyway to let this thread die?

[quickdodge®]

yet you guys are quick to post up your event info on the boards.

I thought of this other day. The only time any "representative" of NAPI ever shows up on this site is for themselves and nothing else. NAPIGUY has about 5-6 posts. IA has been up for about 5-6 years. Hmmmm. The NAPI show is once a year. I wonder......... Later, QD.

[The Golden Child]

is there anyway to let this thread die?

paul can lock it if he wanted to pablo ..

[Brett]

Damn this is gonna drag on

[The Golden Child]

lock it brett i triple dog dare you ..

[Brady]

wow....i vote for TOW (thread of the week)

[Hulud]

well if you lock it, sticky it first lol

[japan4racing]

i only read the first page....to all that are pissed about nopi al i have to say is just dop what i do. i skip that gay ass shit. its a lame event anyways. maybe when you are 16 its cool becuase you are new to the car scene but seriously......its gay

while every one was walking around nopi nats sat. looking at the same old jank ass shit i was sitting at work making good money. on sunday when ppl were looking at more boonaggity riced out shit boxes i was helping swap a b16 in a crx and then going home to knock back a few cold ones.....oh yea, and look at pictures to see what all the other fucktards payed $90 to see.

if you would all skip that gay ass event you would not need to complain about it. i really enjoyed my weekend..infact i think next year i will do the same thing. fuck nopi nats.......the last time i went was in 2001. it was so gay mr. meyers was probably fucking richard simmons in the ass when they planned it

/thread

[Flip]

This thread makes me sad. Everyone in it is my friend and they're all fighting. From George to Pablo from Glenn to Julio and Paul. I have had my moments with all of them (almost). Everyone here has their good points and their bad ones. It's pointless for me to get into it. I can only lose in that situaton. I hope everyone can come to some kind of middle ground someday. Ithink it would be the best thing for the car community in the Atlanta in the long run. But who am I to talk. I'm the biggest drama queen in the South welp.......I'm still sorry this is happening.

yah, i agree... i don't know everyone thats fighting but i do know some of them and theyre all good people...

why can't we all just get along?

[P. A.]

FFFIIIIIUUUU!!! i'm tired reading all this interesting LOL shit...... will come back tomorrow and read some more......

[4dmin]

well if you lock it, sticky it first lol

fuck locking it but i'll sticky it...

BTLFED NOTES: local photographer has some complaints about how he was treated at NOPI; then NOPI representatives get on IA bashing the site and Julio/I

Que Thinkfast \/

[Dragonfly5338]

Just would like some answers, and a discussion like the adults we all say we are. I have no problem working any problems out with anyone, just as long as horse shit opinions and prejudging is left out. However, its kind of hard when the other person doesnt answer any of the legit questions you pose, and simply respond with talk of masturbation. If Im wrong, then tell me, if Im right and you are afraid to answer questions, then say so. You clearly display your disliking towards me, so tell me why? What's so hard in that?



And by the way, unlike some people on here, I take the time to get to know people before I make a judgement call on how they are as individuals.

LIAR LIAR! Hahahhaa.

[Jimmy B]

im not reading all the BS on teh 15/16 pages on here... i read the first post, thats it..

[NOPIGUY]

Hey this is Mark Meyers....

I was un aware that there were such bad feelings from IA staff and their members about NOPI. I just try and put on good events. I hope that everyone that comes to the events has a good time. I know you can't please everyone and coming or not to a NOPI event is your choice. It doesn't matter to me if you do not come to my events. It's definately not for everyone and I've never said it was. For those who did come and had agood time...Great! For those who didn't come...Have a nice day. We will be doing it agian next year so maybe we'll see you then.

[Vteckidd]

No THAT is a professional response.

who is NOPITECH?

HEylo!

Well for clarification purposes...This thread started out as a simple rant..which people are entitled to b/c things never go the way one assumes they will...w/e

It didnt turn into a "us vs. Nopi" thing until a couple of comments were made by people representing Nopi (I assume this, as will others, based on the screen name of the guy posting.) Now this is the thing...IA and NOPI are 2 totally different things....U run a company...IA runs the streets. U do business. IA handles the business u do...Supply and Demand right?

If anything I think this should be dropped and at the same time maybe u should talk to ur "reps" (used loosely) and have them not use ur company's name when on a public board bashing people that others on the board look up to and at the same time may have some influence over who does business with you.

I was at NOPI. I didnt have a good time...I left. But u still got my money so there is no point in me bitching right? Exactly. (Not directed at NOPIGUY)

[B16a2 Civic]

i like dat, can i get some parts discounted?

[B18c1Turboed]

No THAT is a professional response.

who is NOPITECH?

Glen!!


I think if glen would stay out of half the topics about Nopi,it wouldnt be so bad!! But he tries on EVERYBOARD to defend them, trust me people arent going to change there minds becasue Glen gets online and yells at them.
SO MR MEYERS you need to keep your employees offline and do some work!!

Becasue until he came in here and his wife the topic was dying off!!

[B16a2 Civic]

fire glen!
and ban his wife from nopi events
