Well, here's the OFFICIAL thread! NOPI 2006 can best be summed up by Greg's motto (and I think NICO's new slogan):

GO BIG, OR GO HOME.

NOPI was, quite simply, NICOwned. Over 100 NICO cars, multiple NOPI award winning cars, a ridiculous amount of stuff both given away (over 900 posters and untold thousands of stickers\tattoos\tagging cards), and sold (t-shirts like hotcakes). Over 300 hamburgers and 200 hotdogs were grilled and consumed FREE for NICO members, local law enforcement, and other cool people. I personally had at least 15 people come up to me and say "Man, you guys sure do this stuff right."

I had to leave before the NOPI awards ceremony, and can't remember for sure who won all the NICO awards - we'll wait for Torry or Greg to post all that info up. We have an absolute crapload of pictures, but here are two pictures to whet your apetitties. Ahem.

BTW, red shorts FTW!

Read a little closer, there are more coming.

I say "hey, Id hit it" so much that all my freinds put it in their SR memories in the year book, I guess I just find myself finding many a girl bone-able, and the ones I dont, A few beers later I will.

wow! they wern't serving piss while we where there. guess we should have stayed inside a little longer.

my friends have always said i have an issue with "selective listening"...guess it goes for "selective reading" too.

You know NICO is first class when they give Alisha to the winners .

Yep, I did too. Read, noob!
