Sidenote: Damn you Tobi! Beat me to the thread.

[-=[Juztin]=-]

WTF! Damn that sux balls. I'm down for a meet tho :cool:

[Kwando]

BBQ @ TC's!!!

[M@]

Another dyno day? Maybe I can re-dyno with my boost issue fixed and get high HP for the day this time? :p

jk.. kinda.

[jackmode9316]

That sux

[MrsGhandi]

Bandi is working on still having an import event and they will keep us posted. They are brainstorming right now, so we'll see what they come up with. Cross your fingers!!

[aznasinine]

NOPI FTMFL

[Pang]

<-not suprised. Seems like Colorado always get the shaft when it comes to it.

[99GunMetalSi]

Nopi sucks balls

[way2slow]

X2!!!

[chrisbarnett01]

wtfx100

[FrankDMS]

number one parts inc suck.

[ABishop]

MHZ is in support of a make up event for the time NOPI was supposed to go for. Fuck you NOPI! I want my money back!

[chrisbarnett01]

Bandimere already has a saturday ET series scheduled on their calender for that saturday.

[hatchbackgirl]

yes, I totally agree!

[justin]

8 days before the event and they cancel? Wow...

[BlueFang08]

8 days before the event and they cancel? Wow...

Yeah thats pretty shitty you think they would just do it this close to the event...

[sbiggi]

If Bandimere has a import event instead.... I'll try my hardest to have my car there, at the least I'll come up and watch for a bit.

If anyone from NOPI reads this thread, they lost a few attendees for the remainder of their existance.

[talice]

Wow, and to think I was gonna go back for that event. Fuck You Nopi!!!

[ryanman]

Fuck them Fag Fuckers.

[BIG T]

This news is actually good for me because i am supposed to go camping that weekend and i also wanted to go the nopi event, but since the event is now canceled i know what i'll be doing. Camping

[Slava]

It sucked last year and probably would've sucked this year as well. So F*ck them.

[M@]

Myself included. I called and spoke with Nopi's VP of PR, and said those exact words to him. He didn't have much to say other than he completely understood and apologizes, that there's not much he can say regarding it, yadda yadda, but screw those guys. I won't bother running their events even if out of some weird twist of fate Bandimere freakishly invited them back.
It sucked last year and probably would've sucked this year as well. So F*ck them.
Last year was a drift/show only event, can't compare apples to oranges. Drag racing is what makes the Nopi series what it is - that's why it sucked.

[justagsr]

We had that happen in Texas for years but not that close to the event. Many claiming sponsorships, sales, promoting, and attendence were all down. :smashfrea

[redb20teg]

MHZ is in support of a make up event for the time NOPI was supposed to go for. Fuck you NOPI! I want my money back!

oh shit, some people already paid? have they contacted you about a refund?

[MrsGhandi]

Don't lose hope kiddies...all the shops in town are uniting and we are getting an event together for SATURDAY. I'll keep you posted as I have info. YAY!!!

[asianjkim]

Nopi, dont forget. Karma comes back 100 times worse.


On the side note: I hope we get another event going for this replacement.

[jackmode9316]

Looks like happy in the near future!

[Kwando]

with the shitty event last year, and them cancelling this year. i would laugh if they even tried to setup an event next year. Fuck nopi. i'm going to bomb the nopi headquarters

[Martian]

Hot off the press from Bandimere:


Bandimere Speedway is disappointed to have learnedvia a press release from NOPI, that they have cancelled their Colorado and Utah events. The Colorado event was scheduled for Bandimere Speedway on June 21-22. With a week to plan a new event, Bandimere Speedway has revised the schedule as such:
Saturday, June 21 -non-points SUPER PRO, PRO,TROPHY, and SENIORclasses will be run under theFive-R Fall Series rules (entry fees, payouts, ET breaks). In addition, for those Sport Compact & Import racers disappointed in losing an event, a STREET TUNERbracket class, andheads-up action with theTC Performance STREET SPORT COMPACT presented byMartian's Powder & Ceramic Coating, and ImportSports / PFI Performance PRO SPORT COMPACT classes. The heads-up sport compact classes will run with the USP rules (www.uspracing.com (mhtml:{6F1AF6E2-3BF6-4097-83CA-36309AB4EFD5}mid://00000001/!x-usc:http://www.uspracing.com/)), as most local racers are familiar with and legal for these classes. Also, a TIME ONLY/GRUDElane will be provided. Racers may not run "Time Only" and a race class.

[chrisbarnett01]

nice, i'd rather have a sport compact ET series points event than a nopi afterhours foam party anyways.

[chrisbarnett01]

also, let's make a big showing at this event just to show bandimere that we actually care about sport compact racing in denver!

[HONDA GHANDI]

Yes, I beleive this will be a better "Racing" event than NOPI would ever provide for us. Now that this event is set in stone, everyone should tell all their friends, neighbors, aunts/uncles, dogs and pet goldfish about it. It will be a good event with this many classes and cars. No foam parties, no stereo contests, no bullshit NOPI "stoptheracingactionforsomegoddamnuglywhorestoshowo ffthehaildamagedassbikinicontest"

[chrisbarnett01]

hail damaged ass ROFL

Is this on the Bandimere website by chance?

not yet, it will be there monday. It was in their email newsletter, and they sent out a bulletin on myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/officialbandimerespeedway

[john]

My god that fucking my space page is HORRIBLE. I can't find the bulletin on there for the life of me.

Who the hell designed that - Homer Simpson?

[M@]

So, uh, just read that USP requires FWD cars to be 2750 lbs?!?! WTF?! For this even, they're allowing 2,500 lb. cars and 22" slicks, but WTF @ that weight?

[Martian]

Discussions are being had over this and other rule issues M@. USP rules being used was Mike B and Bandimeres idea. Others are in favor of a tire only rule.

[ABishop]

My god that fucking my space page is HORRIBLE. I can't find the bulletin on there for the life of me.

you have to be there friend to get their bulletin.

[dcsportsciv]

IF thats the case M@ ill just barrow a shit load of 45lbs weights from the gym and throw them in the ride and up the HP on the car lol.

[J.Lee.M]

wow. . . . . requested those days off for nothing.

[Martian]

there is a bracket class to guys, don't forget that. This is not just a heads up event.

[91taurisho]

Is this actually going to be for points? If so and you don't make it, will the people that have perfect attendance get screwed out of it?

[HONDA GHANDI]

Its not for points, it says so in the first sentence of the Bandimere press release.

[chrisbarnett01]

Its not for points, it says so in the first sentence of the Bandimere press release.



I take it as being a points event for our class, but not those running under the fall series rules:

Saturday, June 21 -non-points SUPER PRO, PRO,TROPHY, and SENIORclasses will be run under theFive-R Fall Series rules (entry fees, payouts, ET breaks). In addition, for those Sport Compact & Import racers disappointed in losing an event, a STREET TUNERbracket class, andheads-up action with theTC Performance STREET SPORT COMPACT presented byMartian's Powder & Ceramic Coating, and ImportSports / PFI Performance PRO SPORT COMPACT classes.

I think it should be a points event, just like high school drags is a points event for that class.

[91taurisho]

That's the way I took it as well Chris. Thanks for clarifying Tobi.

[aQuarius26]

Yeah, as for refinds, I believe they do not give any, just credit towards their next local event, (which could be never IMO)... thats $65 down the drain for me :(

Am I correct to assume that this event will be racing only, no show? I plan on attending either way, but was just curious.

they (nopi) credited both my brother's and mine back to our credit cards over the weekend, if they haven't given your money back call some one to see why.

[aQuarius26]

Thanks for the info, thats good to hear!

Now I jsut have to find out how to get my refund as I've since changed banks and they truely cannot refund the ammount to my old debit/credit card...

[MrsGhandi]

You are correct...no show classes...just racing.

[dcsportsciv]

Is this just a street class or can i actually run my car?

[HONDA GHANDI]

you should be able to run in one of the heads up classes, if not , bracket.

[john]

I've got nothing to add to this thread, except I smile every time I see the "Fuck you NOPI" thread near the top of the list after hitting the "new posts" button. :)

[HONDA GHANDI]

LOL, I like seeing it too. NOPI can eat kawk 4 l7f3!!

[aQuarius26]

You are correct...no show classes...just racing.

Sweet!!!, looks like there encouraging people to come out and display their rides (at no additional cost above the spectator fee).

Ill definatly come to spectate/display my ride in support!

-See you guys then.

P.S. - it sure would be awsome if the Admin of each board would send out mass e-mails to inform the people of this great "make-up" event... Just a thought...

[HONDA GHANDI]

Thats a good idea, Im not sure though. I havent gotten any e-mails from HAI since the update. :(

I like the graphic, maybe I will print out some stickers and pass them out at the event!!!

I know bandimere wont like this sort of thing. I however am fed up with NOPI pretending to be a decent racing governing body. They are not fooling me anymore. Like Seth said, Im not ever racing anything of theirs ever again.

I'm looking forward to being a spectator! And a dick-tater!

[91taurisho]

The stickers are mainly just proving a point though. Maybe if Bandimere sees it, they wont let Nopi back.

[HONDA GHANDI]

The Bandimere family owns and operates a business. If NO-PEE wants to spend their money here, Bandimere will let them. Burning bridges in the racing world is never a good thing. NOPI has never done a damn thing for me or my business, so I can take the position that I have without guilt or possible repercussions. FU NOPI.
