Yeah..no kidding. On Sat....after most of the Nico guys left for the night, along with most spectators...it was like a ghost town in there. It was after 8 when I realized it (dosed off or something), and noticed the doors were still shut. My wife found someone with a green shirt on and radio....and told them they needed to open the doors pronto. He got on the radio and 10 mins later the doors rolled up After a 430am wakeup, and a 350 mile round trip drive, Sat night I was pretty beat by the time we made it back home....but I have to say I enjoyed meeting everyone, hanging out and had a pretty good time overall. Can't wait for the next Nicofest I'll get some pics posted up tomorrowall4sho wrote:wow.....what a cluster _ _ _ _ !!!
all i want to do is go home!!! LET ME OUT!!!
As for the show sucking on some levels.. I think a lot of people were expecting something similar to the Nopi Nationals which this show could not even compare. They were trying to market Motorsport Nationals as if it would be similar to Nopi. Did you notice how every advertisement had the word "NATIONALS" spelled really large and you could barely read the word "Motorsport", I am sure that was just coincidental...C3Sierra_S2000 wrote:Sunday night there was almost a small revolt on trying to get the cars out early. I have lots of pics that I will try to get up later. I really enjoyed hanging out with you guys and had a great time other than the show sucking on some levels. Oh and for those of you who were there I am the owner of the LS1 powered blue S14. Oh yeah and thanks to those that gave me a push out the door!

YAY!!!! Go us!!!AZhitman wrote:If we're involved next year, you can bet we will have a hand in making sure it's MUCH more organized.
We've been the top car club at the show for 4 of the past 5 years, so they kinda respect our feedback.
We probably won't know for awhile. At least not until closer to next year's show. But don't worry, we'll be posting up all the information as soon as we get it. Just don't expect any updates until probably Spring.AxiOn419 wrote:As for next years show in Atlanta.. Are the Nopi shows finished for good? no more Nopi Nationals ever again? I will miss it if they are done for
If there are no actual motor sports at next years show, I do not think my group of people will be making the trip.
That's a Mosler. Not exactly a "bootleg" Saleen. Mosler's are manufactured in FL and use a Chevy engine. It's based on the Corvette.http://www.moslerauto.com/AxiOn419 wrote:bootleg Saleen S7, dont remember the cars real name
2008 Saleen S7 specs:AxiOn419 wrote:YES! Mosler, thats it. Sorry, I know its not a bootleg S7 but I think a lot of people initial reaction was that it looked like an S7. Though S7s are a lot wider and a lot longer and most likely a lot faster and a lot more expensive. Both are still good looking cars, that guy had a Florida tag so he made a pretty long trip to be at the show.
Yeah saturday was terrible, stuck there for 14 hours. We ended up just walking to our hotel. I was kinda pissed about how there were no taxi's at gicc nor when we would call for one they would just tell us there were not any in the area. We were right by the air port!all4sho wrote:wow.....what a cluster _ _ _ _ !!!
