Just talked with Eddie over at Mackin and he gave me a run down of the big dogs that have pulled out. Just thought I would share this with you. Booths will be empty. None of this is fact, just what I was told:
GReddy
APEXi
Meguiars
INJEN
Mackin (Tanabe, Volk, Koito, Kyokugen)
And I am sure there will be others. Getting flights will be tough. Guess we will have to make the best of it. Take care.

 

Car won't be ready, If I can get a Rental I will still be coming down.
Maybe I can hitch a ride with someone in the NC Crew to Nopi, If I meet up with them in NC?

 

I won`t be there but who am I . Sucks, I was really excited about drining some cheap beer and eating at the waffle house

 

I will be there on Sat. It's too much stress to be just stuck at home... enough with the re-runs of the explosions. Gotta get my mind off and be strong.

 

I won't. I'll pour one out for my homies that are though...

 

IM me, Mike. My passenger pulled out, so I now have space + 1 ticket.

 

unfortunately i will not be attending, for reasons i'm too upset to talk about....

 

I'm sure there will be a memorial service for the victims and their families. Too bad the reps pulled out. I guess the flight schedules are a mess. Hope to see you guys there, I'm in section Red F. Look for the JSpecTuning tent.

God Bless,

 

Trey- Yeah, the logistics of getting there via air travel will be almost impossible. Look forward to meeting you there.

 

I think it would be awesome if we take a moment of silence to honor the vicitims, then sing the National Anthem at NOPI.

 

If there's not something official, many of us will be meeting at the infield scoreboard at 2pm on Saturday for a short prayer.

 

Pat-That's a thoughtful idea. We are behind it.

 

Dayam I wish I can go so I can compete. They actually have a class for R's. Oh well maybe next year.
