Nopi Car Show

Is anyone attending the show at the Atlanta Motor Speedway
Sept. 17th and 18th? My friend has convinced me to go and is now trying to convince me to register my car. All I have is a stock 97 Eagle Talon Tsi AWD which is in pretty good shape. No mods to speak of yet though. He said I would be a rarity there because my car is hard to find, especially in the condition it is in.
What are your opinions on this deal?
Thanks in advance.

The rest is stock but not for LONG!!

What's the worst that could happen? Go for it. Sometimes a nice clean stock look will get you more respect than a modded to shit, ricey lookin piece, plus you will meet a ton of cool people who would love to own your car.

If I were you I would just go there to check-out other cars and the models, and spend the registration money on a mod instead. People are there to see cars that are modded/ show cars. That's my opinion. The choice is yours and it's your money, so do whatever makes you happy.

Yeah, I mainly want to go just to see the cars. Competition isn't really my thing as far as car shows go. I think I would get a lot of new ideas and info as far as contacts and stuff.
What other kind of car shows are there? I have only heard of NOPI.

Thanks for your responses. I appreciate honesty , instead of sunshine where the sun don't shine.

Re: Nopi Car Show

NOPI Nationals is an amazing show, even if it is really ricey and commercialized, it is so incredibly large

The interesting thing about NOPI Nationals is that buying 2 2-day tickets is just as expensive as registering your car (which includes 2 2-day tickets)
