The reason why the costs are so high is because of the unnecessary additives such as bikini contests and concerts and races during the show. Need to lose the bikini contest. Need to lose the concerts. Need to separate the car show from the races. Those things will drop the prices considerably. Not a lot of people are interested in the racing aspect of tuning just as a lot of people are not interested in the show car aspect.

This is why I love smaller local (town square) type shows. Just your basic car show with a couple of venders (homemade treats).

Everyone that knows the real history of NOPI shows knows the best shows were pre-2000. These are my opinions on what should be done and I guess it doesn't really matter because I'm pretty sure I'll not go to another one. Later, QD.
