Death to NOPI "minitruckin"

yea don't waste your time coming to ATL, nopi nats is a total joke, 50 bazillion imports, 100 bazillion huge sponsors that are just worried about getting their banner put in a magazine, 5 bagged trucks (if that), save your $80 entry fee towards a new mod for your truck...
I wish GA would get more support in general for decent shows. it sucks having to drive 4,5,10 hours to get to a decent show. It def makes it tough showing when a trip costs at least $300 after hotel, gas, food, entry fee. Hopefully endless' show in october will get more people interested in coming to GA

IS IT OK TO SHOW A CIVIC AT PF MINITRUCKIN NATS. IM NOT A RICER AND LOVE MINITRUCKS. IVE THOUGHT ABOUT GOING NEXT YEAR BUT I DONT WANT TO FEEL UNWELCOME LET ME KNOW

you wont be unwelcomed, as long as it aint riced out lol j/p

Layumon22s, endless toys for tots show in oct. its a badass time!

O.K. Here is what I think (for what it's worth) in 2001 Charlie Cobbles mini TRUCKIN nats was the biggest it has ever been. It was great probably the best show of the year, and probably the best to attend for years but when He saw the dollar signs that NOPI would bring to him (so he thought) he threw a great thing away. I don't mind looking at RICERs if they are bad ass and CUSTOM (CUSTOM DON'T COME IN A BOX AND YOU CAN'T BOLT AN INTAKE AND A FART PIPE ON IT AND CALL IT CUSTOME). I don't like paying that much money to see the same stuff that is rolling the streets everyday. I can go to a high school parking lot and see that crap. I was very disappointed and I did go so I can say it was crap. Don't promise people what you know you can't get.

it's kinda funny nopi is a big import deal and now in there drag race classes they have classes for american muscle cars and drag bikes they do not have a clue of what they want to be mini truck show drag bike race or import show and not to knock the import deal but most imports are built with all bolt on pcs that you can get at napa, pep boys crap like that nopi should pack up their bags and quit

You tell me this import is built with bolt on parts from pep boys and your on crack.

This is the stereo type you people need to get a grip on, Fact is there are imports out there with more custom work then alot Mini Trucks. why cant we quit fucking hating and move along , You dont want to go to Nopi don't why bitch about it?

Charlie Cobble is a business man you can not blame him for wanting to make money, He isnt a mini Trucker so you can not expect him to put our needs in front of his own. IN the 90s Minitrucking was the in thing. Then in early 2000's the import scene blew up. he was just following the money.

all i see in this is a kit and wheels, and dropped. I have NEVER seen an import with more custom shit done than a mini AND STILL LOOK GOOD. That civic is clean as shit, but the kit isnt even molded it looks like. That took all of a few feet of double sided tape and some screw to get on there. Wheres the custom stuff that is obvious when you look at it....it's not even shaved.

I don't have a custom truck yet, but im workin on it, I just dont see what you do in that civic, or any import, for that matter.

man...12yrs deejaying car shows...I have seen plenty of IMPORTS with a crazy amount of mods and still look good.

shouldn't our sport be focused more on the love of modifying vehicles and the quality of the work.

My last vehicle was a 97 Civic...it had been repainted Seal Gray Metallic, all of the interior had been redone in red tweed, a $1,500 "Bolt-on" suspension, and a fully built turbo motor. All VERY HIGH quality...and I NEVER got shit from people...

I'll agree...rice is rice...and to me that's cheap parts and shitty quality work.

and honestly...I rather see this red civic then some of the Welding and Saw-Saw nightmares I've seen come out of some mini-truckers...

see...its quality...not vehicle selection that should be important.

I wasnt refering to this civic being more custom then every mini truck in the world

Its to different worlds and you can not compare the two. Just stating every import isnt Rice and our first thought shouldn't be its rice and shouldn't be here in a mini truck show.

Should I dislike Adam cause he drives an import and goes to more MIni truck shows then I do?



Furthmore I drive a Fullsize should i not go to a Mini Truck show? are you going to make fun of my truck cause its a fullsize

"man look this guy drives one of them fullsize trucks" ?

My point in all this is, Why are we so focused on what should and should not be at a show?

When I think of the greatest days of MINI truck nats I can picture everything, not just Mini trucks. Shit I had a dayum car when i was attending and I had a blast and recall it one of the greatest shows of all time.

I know I have wrote alot here but it just kills me how people hate so much on imports, I started in this scene with a car and now have a truck.

We are never going to be the group we inspire to be with people constantly trashing other peoples ride regardless of stlye.
