We can always enter separately and try and park together...
just an idea.

...or we could just blow off the whole thing and hit dahlonega.

Hahaha... that sounds like a good plan too!
I think I'd at least like to make it down to AMS. I'd like to pass out some flyers 'n' stickers & such. I'd like to get some coverage from Nopi up on the site.

Now that I've received contact back from Nopi... I'm going to square everything away with entry tomorrow.

Who all would like to enter?

If you're going for both days... it ends up being cheaper (especially if someone rides with you and splits the cost) to enter. Plus you get to keep an eye on your car while you're there & have a centralized meeting place.

Let me know who all is entering, and I'll get everything taken care of tomorrow!

i'm still down with entering

Okay, I just got off the phone with Mark from Nopi... here's the scoop.

I got us a spot... it is in the grass, but it's a great spot in the grass:

We have 5-8 spots, and it's right next to the spectator entrance, and the vendors. So it's not so bad afterall.
I think it's better than the Orange Row W that's at the back of the entire show.

All we have to do is pre-register today, and under the team name... select "driftMechaniks".
Then our parking spaces will open up, and we should be good to go. Mark said that they are filling up too fast, so we need to hurry!

cool, that should be much better!
do wel need to register individually now or is that something you can do for the whole group again? let me know and i'll go ahead and sign up for myself if i need to tonight.

Good question!

Pre-register individually, and make sure you select driftMechaniks as the team name!!!

That should take care of everything.

CodyW · Post by **CodyW** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 5:05 pm

ok, cool...
i just checked and in typical nopi fashion, they misspelled the name (they've also been spelling "silvia" as "sylvia" for the past few years) but oh well

.

'll go ahead and register tonight though.

Hahaha... LOL!
At least they spelled "drift" right!
Bwaaahahaha!

CodyW · Post by **CodyW** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 6:44 pm

ok, i'm all signed up...
240sx/silvia conservative, green B, and the drift mechaniks. i'm not sure what's up with all the classes (it says you have to be in wild for engine swapped cars, but for one they don't offer that and i also think my car isn't quite wild yet) so i picked regular ol' conservative. they also have "JDM style 240sx" but that right there is an oxymoron so i won't support it.

oh yea, and did they say anything about press passes? i still wouldn't mind getting ahold of some if possible

.

Rawk!

I'm still waiting to hear back about the press passes. They have a different person handling everything. I keep getting e-mail addresses instead of phone numbers (and when I get phone numbers, nobody answers). Hopefully I'll hear back tomorrow from them...

There shouldn't be a problem getting them at all, though.

I want to enter as JDMBMW!
Hahaha!

JDM4DOORUNDERCONSTRUCION BMW would be even cooler

OH YEAAAHHHH!!!
Hahaha... I would take that one to the bank for sure!
LOL!

My friend Josh is coming up from Floriday this weekend for the event. So me and him will split the cost

But I'll register FOERST thing tomorrow morning. (240 conservative)

cody, we are still crashing at your parents place correct? is there room for Josh or should I make him sleep on the golf cart?

CodyW · Post by **CodyW** » Mon Sep 13, 2004 10:48 pm

i'm trying to decide what i wanna do about that actually. i might, but at the same time that would rule out any fun parties, and the nopi weekend might be a good weekend to throw down in d-wood. i might at least stay down there one night though (maybe friday?) so i can get a little extra sleep. oh, and i'll try to find out tomorrow if my parent's are gonna be out of town or not, and that will kinda decide how many people i want over there.

...Something to think about, HURRICANE IVAN. I don't know how you guys feel about soggy car shows but Atlanta looks to be pretty wet beginning Saturday. It's only Monday and a milllion things could happen but go ahead and add umbrellas to your packing list. I'm not going to show because weather permitting I have to work Saturday but if someone has an open seat and the rain holds off I'll split the bill.
