Death to NOPI "minitruckin"

Notice Adam's kit isn't Molded ?

I'm definately not a fan of NOPI. I think it is possible for imports and Mini Trucks to co-exist, but not "rice" and Mini Trucks. It's not right for a bagged and body dropped fully shaved nissan to be sitting beside a civic with a 30" tall wing and a bolted on body kit with a Fast and the Furious banner across the windshield. I think that any vehicle that is heavily Mini Truck inspired should be welcome at a Mini Truck show, but I don't think it needs to be a 9 to 1 (imports to trucks) at the Mini Truck Nationals.

that civic is real clean i set next to it at the show

just to interject, adams car is way nicer than any other honda that ive seen

Minitruckers vs. Ricers is such bullshit

Look, I have been in minitrucking since the late 80's, but I am also a car enthusiast. Those individuals that bitch about one or the other, to me are close minded.

Now I have seen cars/trucks that i like and some that i don't. It cuts both ways, but again I am a automotive enthusiast with many tastes.

If Nopi has become an import show, so be it. Supply and demand dictates business decisions everyday. I have never been to Nopi and i don't know the promoter, so I don't have dog in that fight.

But i will say it again, if you didn't like the show you attended, start your own,, run it the way you like it.

its not the cars/trucks, its the retards who drive them that do the stupid stuff and make both from either crowd look bad. if i see a clean import ill check it out maybe even talk to the guy just cuz he loves customizing his ride just as much as i do mine.

I agree,,,retards on both sides,,,,i have seen it all...(dayum i sound like an old fart)

Charlie already announced that the mini-truck nats will go on next year at the same place August 10-12 right before the awards ceremony. I don't want to see it die, I want to see it revert back to the way it was... mini-trucks. Mini-truckers complain about not having a good show to drag at, but they missed one this year (Southern Slam Session 3). I recommend putting the Southern Slam Session 4 on your calendars because they have legal draggin' all weekend long on the show grounds, otherwise, you'll be waiting until Heritage in September which I would recommend all mini-truckers attend. The facility at Southern Slam Session is good-to-go and there is a lot of potential there. Not to mention plenty of hotels around, be it in Hopkinsville, KY or in Clarksville, TN (right down the road).

Why not go to sandra's Mini Truck nats , and dont pay charlies 60 dollar entry fee. that is just plain rediculous..

I don't like the cops in Pigeon Forge, it is a little crowded down there, and hotel costs are high... though it is the original mini-truck nats... I may cover it next year. Herb and Sandy invite me to cover it every year. Even when it rains it has pretty good attendance.
