Let me tell you how this infuriates the fuck out of me. I spent a lot of money out of my own pocket to do those demos.

Let me also tell you what I am totally fed up with: Drifting and all of it's fairy-tale hustler motherfucking shady piece of shit fucks ruining the ever-living-hell out of the thing in life I love the most - DRIFTING.

Sorry for bringing it up, this just really literally blew my mind.

That guy in the video asking where the money goes and watching Mark be absolutely frozen and dumbfounded just sums it all up, and in conjunction with the convo with Aaron at my shop last night just made my head explode, all over the keyboard.

But yes, shady people like NOPI, and the BS associated with them, and the crap Batlground pulled, was gay. I've really been frustrated with all that kinda crap lately , especially since I'm now sharing a shop with Derrick, and I have to see what Ameen/Amir at 786 are doing to him, and the crap they have pulled with the whole Houston community, and I just get fed up with it after a while.

i agree with something mike wrote

/world

as for tony that makes me sad dude the whole point here was to let everyone know that other people are getting screwed and to stop letting them do that by making the events fail. you are doing exactly what the people up here did

"well it's cheap track time i can't pass it up"

yes it is cheap but to what end? we really should stick together and be like "hey every year they fuck someone over I'm gonna skip this event and go somewhere else" I don't know about you but if I showed up won and then they were like "hey that 3 grand you were supposed to win we forgot it" and they packed up and left you wouldn't be like "oh its cool I had some fun track time and even if 3000 bucks is owed to me I don't care because I enjoyed my time with them."

I registered as well. And the $3000 became $1000 yesterday. They must not have lots of registrants.

Does anyone know a lawyer that would be into it? Seems like class-action to me. There's no way this is legal.

I made several posts like this aimed at D1 a couple places, if people stop supporting shady events/shops they will eventually run out of money and die.

But hey, winning a Nopi event nobody was at is like 10000 "Pro drifter" XP on Facebook. People's ego's will keep nopi/d1 drivers lists full.
