    Default So since Nopi is canceled....

    what are we going to do?!?

    Naw,


    The Nopi National was actual a really good thing for the Atlanta's car scene because all the media attention it brought, and people travel from all over for it. The problem was it just wasn't able to keep up with the times, and started losing support. Now with it's demise, this would be the perfect opportunity to make an more up-to-date event (or meet). I'm pretty sure if everyone join forces we could turn that weekend around have something similar to Import Alliance. Just look at what Dirty Octopus was able to pull off with just a few weeks and only the help of a few friends. The only problem would be a location and I'm pretty sure there are plenty of connection on IA that could solve that problem. I just want to see if anyone would be down for a replacement Nopi meet because all it really need is support.


    Share you're thoughts and ideas.

    when it all boils down, its not about who has obnoxious body kits and who has jdm front end conversions. its about a common love of cars.

    Damn... I didn't know it was canceled... Despite the extreme rice that nopi would bring, It would also bring alot of nice rides from around the country. It was like freaknik for car people...

    I don't think that any meet will top nopi for a while.

    my parents work at Atlanta motor speedway.

    if everyone is willing to chip in a little peice of change I can see how much it would cost to rent the outside parking lots for a Saturday.

    lol. ill chip in like 4 bucks. but i like chris' idea. we could do different stuff. like have somewhat of a semi car show where the winner gets an IA prize pack or something. something like that. as well as if they would allow us, host a drift event and charge like a $20 entry fee for that. something of that nature

    It's not about trying to top it. Basically, Nopi put Atlanta on the map each year in the car scene. Now we don't have that anymore. So we need to keep it alive. Look at what IA is doing for Nashville, or the Eibach meet does for Cali. As of now, Atlanta has ....

    i do tho think that it is our responisibility as georgia's #1 car community that we should definetly do something in its place. if we want something to happen and replace that event then we have to do it, not anyone else, you know.
