    So Basically these are going to be the guys who can't take off of work for 2 weeks at a time to travel to Cali for drifting events who live on this side of the mississippi It will also probably be some people who would like to make $5k per event if they win as oppsesed to the $500 that Formula D pays out. These may even be the people who would like to make their sponsors happy by getting on network television every week as opposed to G4 which you have to subscribe to. It may even be people sponsored by Tire companies that don't sponsor Formula D...so the can't drive in Formula D becuase Formula D don't allow you to drive if you aren't sponsored by 1 of their 5 tire sponsors....There may even be some Formula D drivers there to take advantage of all of the things I just mentioned because if you have a Formula D license, you can drive in NOPI These are all just guesses tho being that the series hasn't started yet.

    i am one of those guys you speak of, thanks for your support of your local drivers who are trying to make a name for themselves.

    are you a Formula D driver or do you even have a clue what it takes to get into Formula D (like who's knob to bob on)? better yet, do you yourself posess the skill do even qualify top 16 in a local level event?

    i'd be willing to bet a resounding NO to both questions. so what exactly gives you the right to talk shit?

    Yeah I'm cool w/ Erin. But it sux that NOPI has pretty much abandoned drag racing for drifting.

    Any sport that's judged by biases and opinions is GAY in my book and never really makes it to a large audience and market.

    MEN LIE
    WOMEN LIE
    NUMBERS DON'T LIE

    In the automotive world it's all about true numbers. Not what the fuck some pussy ass judge thinks. And I guarantee you as bias as NOPI is already. The drifting WILL NEVER BE JUDGED FAIRLY. SO UNLESS YOU'RE COOL W/ NOPI OR HAVE DONE SOMETHING FOR NOPI OR HAVE SUCKED ONE OF THE NOPI BIG WIGS DICK-then you'll never win a NOPI drift event. So it looks like we all know who's gonna be 1st place in points at the end of the season.

    I agree that it sucks that the judging in drifting is the way that it is. NOPI has actually joined up with the Drift Box http://www.driftbox.com from what I hear to kind of try to make it a little more black and white. That being said there are all kinds of sports that are judged sports. If you don't agree with the way drifting is judged then it's just not for you and you don't have to participate. That's the case with everything in life. NHRA still has drag racing running strong. That's always an option, isn't it?

    I also agree that it kind of sucks that drag racing is going the way it has been for a while. That's kind of why we stopped drag racing. We felt that if your sponsors were big enough then you could get away with cheating. MSP is notorious for just that IMO. It didn't matter how hard we tried to follow the rules, they were always broken by someone else with more money.

    In the end, it's a business. What's popular is what brings in the money. That's true for most in this industry. From what I hear both AAP and Mahdavi are building drift cars. Why's that? Probably because it's popular and there is business to gain from it. Of course that's just specualtion on my behalf. We did it for fun in the beginning. It was a cheap sport based on drivers skill...not how much money you have in your car. All of that is kind of changing now that the sport is a little bit more well known. There are definately some things that need to be ironed out in the sport as a whole. But what do you expect, it's been in the states for 3 years.

    I'm not talking shit about anyone in here in general, I'm talking shit about a company that makes it's money by exploiting the "scene" (y0) and selling a watered down product to the masses. No, Formula D is no different in a sense, but has already affirmed itself as the premiere US Drift circuit. I personally regard Nopi as rather incompetant and I don't see this going anywhere. But hey, prove me wrong.

    and no I don't support you, I don't know you.

    by the way, I don't drift, I've never even done a donut. so keep rambling.

    If what Im hearing is true Nopi's payouts are going to be about 10x what FD is currently offering. That alone will attract a lot of drifters, FD competitors included.
