I've only been working here 2 months! I wont have any vacation for a while. My buddies at my old job went last year and brought me back some pics

, I know I don't want to miss it! Mainly I want to get together and meet some of CEG, but I just got the tour runnin on 7/4, & now all the meets are falling on my weekends to work( I work every other weekend)! Not to mention my wifes having surgery this morning, I've just got too much crap going on! I've got a couple of months so maybe I can pull a rabbit out of my...... whatever!

I know a couple of higher ups here that might be able to let me off, I'll miss the pay but wont get canned! I'll cross my fingers and hope for the best.

i will definitly be there, me and my car team will have a huge tent with bbq grille's and all, stop by the hypnotic tent and hang out and for the out of staters you know who you are,chad,logan,chris,x,josh ect...yall can crash at my house if ya want or we can get a hotel near nopi and all party there that night.

NOPI Nats always rocks! If you have not been to one, you need to go. It is a good thing you are getting rooms. You really can't see everything in one day. It is not possible. If you like sport compact cars, you need to go. Last year they had a drifting competition in the parking lot. Parts vendors everywhere. Enough cars to fill up the ATL motor speedway and pretty much have a car show in the parking lot leading up to the Nats.

SS do you want me to help coordinate with you on this? Call me.

I will be there, hopefully with a new 4-2-1 header installed.

Rich

how much more money do I need to steal to go?

Ryan - Thanks I will see how this folds out right now I am saving every penny I have for College starting up in the next month or so.

Go here for all your Nopi Nats Questions

Sept 17 & 18

$25 per person per day
$40 per person weeekend pass

L8R

but if you register your car in the show

you get 2 weekend passes
you get to park your car inside the speedway
and you really dont have to show at all
just consider it VIP parking
plus you get a goody bag with all different kinds of stuff
including coupons for manufactures

and you get into areas that spectators cant get into

ill tell more when i get home

Yeah, I'm planning on going and hopefully "showing". If us NC people wanna cruise down together, that would be awsome as well. Packs of contours going down the road will be just as cool as anything else...

David

if nopi is even going to happen this year. cause of the damage to the entire place it may be either canceled or put somewhere else this year. it better not thats the day after my bday

It's still gonna be there, still on same date.

Question is... are YOU gonna be there?

I am going to try everything in my power to make this trip!

i don't have a contour but i'll be there in the coug!

good enough man, we all need to get together so you all have fair warning, come to the hypnotic illusions tent for some burgers and dogs. we will be there with plenty

ok i just saw on the nopi site that atlanta motor speedway WILL be open and ready for nopi nats, lets get it guys

I think I might come but not in my car. I've got something really cool planned for October at AMS. The Corvette clubs from around Georgia get to on the track and test out the cars a little. Last year my uncle and I got up to 145mph ont the front straight in his Z06. This year hopefully I'm going to get a chance to get the Contour up on the track. No matter what happens it will be fun and I'll probably get some cool pics.

Probably, but not in either of my cars.

hell yeah justin, you gotta get some of those pics.

Sounds good guys. I've never been to a NOPI show before so it should be awesome. It would be great to have a high turnout of CEG members. How many people so far are showing their SVT's?

i think 4 or 5 so far including myself

any one who is going
call me at (205)483-6020

cool rich, look for me at the hypnotic illusions automotive tent. i will be surrounded by focus's and a few other tours

Ryan. The car is back together and I even washed and waxed it!

I'm extremely stoked right now that it is running so damned good. When is the Nopi thing going on again? I'm interested in going now that my ride is together.

This up coming weekend the 17-18th in ATL. at the motorspeedway.

Tom you better make it..

Wish I could come. The SVT is scheduled for a brake fluid flush and I have some other things to do. Have fun and make sure you take some good pics. I mean no small pics!

Well........It looks now like I may not be able to go this year....especially with Gas being so freakin expensive.

I am pretty well ticked off about it. Do me a favor guys, take lots of pics and/or video of the burnout comps and the drifting comps as well. And lots of lots of pics of the contiques and all the sweet cars. This will be the first one I have missed in like 4 years....

I feel sick now...gotta go

L8R
Rich

damn that sucks man, try and make it man, and tom yes you better make it man. it should be killer this year, we can all make fun of the pimp my ride crew that will be there.

Trust me Rich, I know how ya feel. Im due to have the baby anytime, and still workin to pay the bills. Contours runnin pretty good, but shes got a bad O2 sensor. Me and joe got back together and worked things out, but even with us both workin, its a nightmare trying to take care of all these bills. Plus trying to get all the baby stuff i need

it just aint cheap. i got rid of all my baby stuff after Dominic cuz i didnt think i was gonna have anymore for a longgggg longggg time! But hey, fate has its plans right? But it aint fated for me to get to go to NOPI. Well, take it easy all. Im out for now...seems to be bedtime already!

had a blast guyz and i love my KONIS!!! big difference. great seeing everyone again and hope everyone had good drive home.

We made it home safe. Decent drive but had some action though. Embarassed the hell out of a dumbass in Honda Accord v6 that thought he would pass both Aarons S4 and my SVT. We had slowed down in a little town with a four way intersection to 45mph and he jumped onto opposite traffic on the other side of the road to try and pass us both so he wouldn't have to slow down. Dangerous that was. Hahaha, shoulda seen the look on his face when I opened the throttle and we pinned him in the middle of us for like ten miles.

I am home and just chilling today heading back to school later. NOPI was awesome nice meeting some faces and new, great cars alot of rice and just WOW sometimes over it was great. Also thanks Ryan for letting the NC crew sleep over at your place on friday.

no problem guys, i enjoyed hanging with you all again. too bad i got robbed and didnt even place, and i meen you all saw my competition, i didnt have any!!!!

Where are the pics??!!!!

i have johns camera and will post some and i know logan took a few and i will get more from other friends and post them

Logan forgot his camera.

But anyways.. The car has been dropped off at the body shop tomorrow it's SVT Plastic, H&R and Koni time.. now to get an exhaust made up

ohh thats right i forgot you forgot it man. you gotta do pics when you get the ride back man
