MrMeanGreen Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah, but Norwalk kicks ass. Maybe we should crash the party Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowmotionMotorsports Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Not everything that deals with imports is like the F&F. NOPI Events are very very cool and bring in some very fast imports and sport compacts, plus it is great publicity for us here in Ohio. Like this from Houston last year! Stephan Papadakis set a new Pro Compact ET and MPH records in his AEM Honda, 6.693 at 208.13. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of cars in the 6s in other classes. If your hate for imports leaves you blind to true enthusiast racing and competiton then you arent a true lover of this sport.

While there will be ricers in the spectator parking lots, they sure as shit won't be in the pits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the phrase I'm looking for.......... "Even a blind squirrel finds and acorn every once in a while." I have total respect for the people that do respectful things with imports (and sport compact domestics). Hell, I know most everyone on the Saturn Ion drag race team. But unfortunately, the majority of your group is a bunch of fucking retards with no money, a few cans of spray paint, AutoZone accessories, and trying to claim how fast they are. Majority rules over events like NOPI and the rest of the "sport compact/import" enthusiasts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

excell Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Originally posted by Eazy E: graemlins/nonono.gif Tell me how I'm wrong. Does not 90% of the people in your enthusiasts group fall into that category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Ken said it best. This is the best of what the "sport compact" scene has to offer. Yes there are some downfalls. Mainly being the F&F crowd. the car show will undoubtably suck. and there will be enough vinyl to stretch from here to new york and back. but who care's. Your going to watch a 7 second 4 cylinder car make a pass... that's cool. However you can't simply categorize or label a whole group of enthusiast's simply b/c of the "bad apples" of the bunch. i would hardly categorize DSM's or the majority of the DSM community this way. So if your going to go. Go and watch the race's and just ignore the car show. who cares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, I'm a DSM'er, and we have few ricers amongst us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owndjoo Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 that's a personal opinion. i also like the street legal drags, but i prefer the actual ones that include a 30 mile drive before the racing takes place. the NOPI race will be very cool to see. and since some people like to stereotype about import/sport compacts, then i would like you to immediately cut off your stupid mullet, go divorce your cousin, and please please get rid of that rediculous double-wide.

The truth is not being stereotypical. Go to any car meet. 90% of the imports/sport compacts there fit my description. Now, on the other hand, your comments are an ignorant stereotype. I'll go back to my short-haired, single while male unmarried, brand new home. I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about owning a Camaro, but I do have a truck... Typical mentality from people like you. graemlins/lol.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SquirrelyNutsDSP Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Meh, I think I'll skip it. I don't like to be drawn in with or be around the stereotypical import crowd; I could watch on tv and be happier. Plus if I drove my car, I'd be overly annoyed with "hockey rocku" and initial d comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Just stating that without F&F I have a hard time seeing NOPI even being around, and they rely on that and even named a championship or whatever after it. Yes I know there are some fast cars, but honestly none of them interest me, the only class that does interest me is the fastest class they offer which is predominetly RWD. Yeah Lisa Kubo got a FWD into the 7's that's impressive for a FWD 4 cylinder and I give her and her team respect for it, I just don't get excited and interested in it.
