were you one of the three 7's that was parked in front of that dollar general next to that r32? My friend told me someone yelled out that they had a spot for me or something. I was dissapointed with how many FC's I saw...like 5 all day.

First off I want to say "THANK YOU" to everyone who came out and joined our SpeedForSale.com group at this year's NOPI Nationals! It was great to see everyone and hang out for the weekend. My voice is very scratchy today from talking so much, which hasn't happened in years (I talk a lot heh!) A special thanks to Chinchi for helping us find more tents when our area was destroyed by the big storm on Friday! Things were so busy in our area I did not leave our area once during the event, so other people's pictures are all I'll have to know what was at the event...please post up the pictures you have!
As noted earlier, our ENTIRE GROUP AREA with 30'x20' of tents was completely destroyed on Friday during the massive storm that came through. We got to the event at 10:30am on Friday morning to set up, which took 3.5 hours. Our area looked great and was a good bit larger than what you see in the pictures above...but after the torrential downpour and high winds, I got a call from Mark Meyers saying we should come back out to assess the damage. Even though our tents were staked down, they had been twisted like pretzels and wadded up in a ball up against the fence:
The flood waters were over 2 feet deep at some parts of the track. Notice in this picture of the 'Elite Show' area right behind us how the water is up to the top of the trashcan, and there is a whirlpool beside it where the drain is:
It was very disheartening to come back to the Speedway Friday evening and see that mess. Only one of our 12'x12' tents that we had set up the start of our group area (the white tent with our banner in the picture above) remained. We went to a couple places looking for pop-up tents, and they were sold out. I called Chinchi, who hadn't left for the hotel yet. He let me know of a couple stores on the way down, and I called them up. He went to 2 or 3 places and bought all the tents they had left...only 4 total. So, we had much less tent space than we originally had...next year we'll (at least) DOUBLE our tent area, as we are expecting well over 100 cars in our group. We also grilled out 100 hamburgers and tons of hotdogs, chips, colas & water on Saturday and ran out, so we'll have tons more next year to ensure we can feed every one on Sunday as well!
Our next event is the '2007 SpeedForSale.com Shootout' for Supra, RX7, 300ZX, and Skylines (spectators welcome) on October 19-20 at Talladega road course and Steele 1/4 drag strip (mobile dyno and car show in parking lot) with cash payouts...info here:
