Default My thoughts on NOPI atco.

since some people like to point out the short comings of some events. Let me take the Chance to tell you how I saw this weekend. OFF THE HOOK!!!!! In my five years of racing at Atco Nopi events I have never seen so many people and racers. Say what you want about most of them being domestic but there were cars in every class. The stands were packed more people than I have ever seen at an import event. My only complaint is they ran out of deep fried oreos. If you guys could work on that for me than next year will be even better.

to Nopi for a great weekend

It was a very good turn out. I would like to thank the fans for coming out and supporting us. Also thanks to NOPI/NDRA for putting it on. This is what we need to help bring in more sponsors and new races in.

Jason good to see you running sooo well out of the box with a brand new car and set up and such man. Totally different class too then what you have been running. Who made the turbo manifold on the car btw?

Hope to see you ate ETown this weekend and MIR in a couple of weeks man. Good luck this season, I have always liked the Scion TCs actually and it is nice to see a clean and fast one come out like this

I really wish we could have been there this past weekend, but as usual business comes first. to nopi for holding a great event. I have heard over and over how great it was.

Terry i believe the manifold on the scion is a full-race creation. I have a customer who wants to order one. Its on their site.

sounds like a great time, to bad the event was so far away... would have gone for sure to watch. maybe having a mix of cars like this is a way to get the drag racing scene back on track, cause it sounds like it went very well.

I could care less if the numbers were the other way. It doesnt matter to me if it is an all domestic event. There were fans in the stands and lines of cars in the stanging lanes.

Wasnt that 67 camaro in the old school class?

Yea Dan, I forgot about that class. Add 1 more car to the list of total racers.
I was not trying to correct you as much as clarify for those not in attendance. Truct me, it looked like alot more domestic cars than the tech cards show. haha

Brian you are correct, Actually, there was a GM Sport Compact in that class (haha), and a Mopar Sport Compact.

Sorry for the confussion, when I said Domestic, I meant the American cars with the 6/8cyl motors.

I didnt feel like you were trying to correct me at all. Nor was I trying to correct you. You guys really stepped up at this event. I had a good time. Hopefully MIR will be just a packed.
