I basically have the only 240sx at my school and i wanted to know if anyone was interested in coming out and representing Nicoclub/their 240. registration is just $10. lemme know what u guys think.

absolutely man, the more the merrier! any car is welcome(if its show worthy of course) we're most likely not going to reject any cars from entering.

judging has 32 classes...one of them is best nissan.... group members like myself are allowed to win trophies so bring on the competition! lol

i will definitely be there!! i am dumb and i literally just posted this is the regional section too. be sure to look for a flat black red top 93 hatch pig-nose. we should sign up and reserve a place for NICO... like we all park together instead of going on a wild goose chase. Any mods from around here should definitely come out and we can continue to make NICO the biggest and best!!

maybe a NICO tent or banner
