Damn, leaving for Florida that day otherwise it’d be fun to catch the event.

so its now called hot import nights/XDC presents battle at the border

4

5

might be worth having an nyspeed event around this?

6

Yes the LS3 M3 will be there.

7

Somebody better alert Choda. Come on Josh, tandem Z’s. You lead.

Remember when NOPI tried to come to this area in '06 & '08?

We tried to get an NYSpeed group to go in 2006, but no one signed up so I cancelled our efforts. The thread is here: http://www.nyspeed.com/showthread.php?12506-July-22-23-NYSpeed-NOPI-New-York&p=258561&viewfull=1#post258561

They wanted $65 per car at the height of when shows like this were “cool.” … But I wasn’t too upset about not going because they never honored our cross-promotional efforts. I remember we had a NOPI banner on NYSpeed and they shipped me 1,000 fliers but never put our stuff on their website or fliers. Garbage.

And then there was the attempt at Lake Erie Speedway in 2008 for NOPI which was ok for drifting but no one showed up (from what I remember) at the “show” portion… watch the next video and this is all you need to know:

So how much different is NOPI from HIN?

XDC is something I wouldn’t mind associating with but with HIN tagged on as well, especially in this area… what do you guys think?

Yeah, I really don’t give two fucks about HIN. I’m purely excited for XDC and not having to drive 5+ hours for a drift event.

10

Yeah finally having a legit series here locally is great. But our involvement is going to depend on a number of factors, one being if we’re dealing with XDC or HIN.

Hot Import Nights (HIN) handles there portion (car show, entertainment) while XDC runs there part

Fingers crossed for you. Good luck.

18

Hahaha yeah, dunno if THAT is happening anymore.

19

will you have a car for this if the m3 isnt ready

20

No, I don’t have anything prepped. I haven’t really driven since 2009 so I’m definitely not driving someone else’s car if the M3 is not ready. Working on it every day, the list is getting shorter but it’s going to be tight.
