mugenman

iTrader: (12)

does anyone know what i placed at? or if i even placed?

Gixxer

iTrader: (3)

Nope we found out by calling NOPI, I'd like to know what everyone from 7thgen placed, cause I know we had the nicest 7thgen Civics out there.

Ashhole

iTrader: (5)

Well jon, if you call, find out what i placed too lol

Gixxer

Just get them to email the results from the 01-05 Civic street class. H280 was the class number.

u know who i would email?

tuningmycivic

iTrader: (11)

i am curious as well....cuz that was straight BS......

just sent an email to nopiman@nopi.com....let's see how long it takes to get an answer. 'cuz I assure you, we're probably not the only ones that felt like we got hosed on this one...and since when does stock with wheels equal a "Street" class??

mugenman

iTrader: (12)

like gixxer said it doesnt matter what we placed cause i think we had the cleanest 7thgens there (again like gixxer) some of the better presented cars there and we all had fun right? even tho we got hosed on the scoring i still say that weekend was one of the best weekends ive had in a long time. i dont know about you guys but im already looking forward to next year!

LMAO! You guys sound like my 16 year old sister when she doenst win a beauty pageant.
"OMG How did that **** win?!?! Im like totally WAY hotter than her, Her parents must have paid the judges!"

You guys should be lucky you even have class's for the 01-04 civics because in California all Civics (All years) compete against each other. Meeting cool people and having a good time should always be the main goal, Winning isnt everything, Thats what i tell my sis anyways.

Okay, when we spend 15k+ on our cars to compete we don't just do it for the friends. Granted, i did go there to meet alot of people and in which i made alot of friends. i'm there to compete, not pay $85 to show, $80 on a hotel, $100 in gas, etc to ****in take home nothing. This isn't your little beauty pageant.

CM92065

No need to take out your frustations on me guy This **** happens everyday to actors, models, people getting jobs, applying for school ect..... Of couse your going to be biased and think your the best but clearly you werent the best according to the people who were judging.

SEN_ONE

iTrader: (11)

^ You asked to be flamed by calling us 16 year old girls. People lost to an almost
stock civic. It's conversation for people that were there and saw the other cars in their class. If you don't won't to get flamed don't leave comments like you did, or just GTFO. Nice people>you.

Gixxer

iTrader: (3)

Dude, You weren't there and You have no idea what we were competing against not to mention what any of our cars look like, so for You to come in here and say that we sound like a bunch of girls is absurd. And no it wasn't just our class that was done like this. Look at the Nopi Nationals threads in the NOPI Forums and see how many other people are complaining about the same thing.

Gusto has a sponsored car,with a swap and boost, and Your gonna tell me that a mostly stock car is going to place higher? These judges did a 30 second walk around and You can honestly tell me that they judge all these cars fairly.

I used to live in California, and I've been showing since 1991. My truck was in Mini Truckin Magazine, I've been to Resolutions Car Show at Lake Perris, BonTon Car Show in Bakersfield and World of Wheels in Santa Maria all mulitiple times. I know what the shows are like in California.

And no one here said they had the best car, in fact there were a few cars there that were really nice in our class,and none of them place either, but after seeing what You get beat by, it does get quite frustrating.

I think Sunkist should have won best of show

greenEX

what you guys should do is either boycott Nopi or accept it as par for the course. I used to go to a lot of shows and judging is the worst part, its almost never done right and it never makes everyone happy. Its why different cars win at different shows. BUT I do agree that a stock vic should not beat drew, mex, gusto, etc. Thats an outrage. I just wouldnt go to Nopi Nats to show anymore. Hopefully they change it for the next show.

blackbox_06

this was our first nopi as showing and i never realized that judging was this bad...for the ones that have shown before has it always been this bad??? thats crazy though...the car that won first place looks like tony's when he first bought his...it wont let me post the picture yet but i will be back and post it when i get up to 15 posts lol

Rhonda

I competed in the 4 door street class. Is there any place where I can see where I placed. If I placed. I don't have much done to my car but I would like to know. There were other 7thgens like me that didn't park with the club. I parked by the constant entrance with the other hondas. Thanks.

blackbox_06

no not every car at the show but i do like taking alot of pictures lol tony took quite a bit of them too...i will work on the first link again and see whats wrong there
