Ok, whos going for sure? Id like to get a head count so if possible we can meet up and cruise there together. So far It will be Me, Mario, and Brandon from Holeshot.

Whos a definate?

 

[95blackGsTurbo]

Me but I won't be in a DSM. Not sure what I will be in now. DSMless again. Thinking of crossing to the 240sx side.

 

[dr1665]

Whos a definate?

I'm a definite not.

Sure wish more local DSMers showed this kind of excitement about the Shootout.

I would if it wasn't across the country.

 

[eclipse_gst_99]

I'll probably show up sat. after work which is 3:00-4. My freind who bought a gsx a few months ago just got his car running so his going as well. If the cruise is plan for Sunday then we are down for sure.

You should look into booking a flight into Chicago now. Might be less than $200. I can guarantee you a ride to Norwalk and I've already got a group of rooms reserved. Maybe you talk Luda into flying out as well and split the room? $500 would cover your flight, room, and $100 towards food/drink/racing.

It blows this thing out of the water. Hands down.

Have you been to the last NOPI event? The ladies and cars are second to none. Why go to a DSM Shootout when you can have one right in your hometown. Meet up with everyone, and cruise on down together. Im an enthusiast of all cars, and even better, im an enthusiast of women .

last year some of the chicks faces looked like they were in there 30s, there was maybe 2 that i thought were worthy of being on stage...i mean the girls werent bad for sure just as an average joe. Ive seen better at the local strip club... all the other girls i saw there were with there mans.

And the only good cars there, 90% of em were the ones racing.

 

[SexperT]

Im going for sure guys, im hoping to drop the 2600 in tomorrow(if this wonderful weather allows...) so, ill give brandon a call and try to meet up.

Why go to a DSM Shootout when you can have one right in your hometown.

Hahahahahaha. You have no idea, man. NOpi is NOT the Shootout. It is nothing remotely like the Shootout.

NOPI is an all-encompassing, how-many-different-groups-can-we-cater-to-in-order-to-increase-sales corporation. The DSM Shootout is by DSM owners for DSM owners. I think there were something like 500 DSMers at the Shootout last year. How many cars will be showing at NOpi in Phoenix? How many of them will be DSMs?

The NOpi event draws ricers from all over Phoenix down to a corner to ogle mindless twats who get all up on kitted and chromed-out cars or get almost naked on stage while some random, hip-hop-lugnut "spits phat beatz." They charge you to show your car. They charge other people to view it. The DSM Shootout is all about the DSM community. We invade an entire town. Every hotel for 20 miles is sold out and full of DSMs. The local carwash has lines three deep for five stalls, all DSMs. There's three DSMs at every intersection. When you get home, you have a sunburn on your arms from having them out the window to wave at other DSMers.

To me, NOpi is putting on a show to entertain ricers from all walks of life, but the Shootout is a celebration of DSM and the 4G63. Four days of all the DSM you an handle. That is second to none.

You guys have fun. Mr. Cynic is going to try to put something else together for the local DSM community in the coming months that will be a good time. You'll see.

 

[dr1665]

You guys have fun.

Just to reiterate, I mean that. If NOPI is your thing, then by all means go check it out. Have fun and represent the local DSM community. It's just not my cup o'tea and since Mark never took my call last year, I'm all butthurt.

Even so, I would really like to know I'm not the only DSMer from Phoenix who makes it to the Shootout each year. If any of you are interested in going to the Shootout, please drop me a PM and I'll do anything I can to help make it happen for you.

All yours, Mark.

FYI:

At our show in Atlanta there were over 600 Mitsubishis out of 7000 entries and over 100,000 people. Yes there are a lot of different things at a NOPI event. It's not for everyone. This Phoenix event is only in it's second year and there are the fastest Mistubishi's Racing and many more showing. Why not try to build up the Mitsubishi presence and make this a good event for DSM people. All the elements are there for a good time.

You see what you want to see when you come to a NOPI event. Coming on my thread and telling people to go to another show in another part of the country at another time is pretty lame. IF NOPI's not your thing that's just fine.

NOPI's been in the import performance business since 1966. We buy and sell more Mitsubishi performance parts than most anyone in the country. We also have some of the largest imports style events in the country including the largest new generation car show on the planet in September. DSM's are and have been a big part of what we do here.

Sorry I just wanted to defend myself a little bit from the earlier posts. IF you would like to try the PHOENIX event great, we would love to have you. We will definately try our best to put on a good show.
