VIDEOS! - NOPI L.A. Saturday - 20 min worth!

www.sportcompact.tv

New channel we launched. PLEASE share this link on other message boards. We want to continue to cover drift events but can only do it thru your postive feedback and support. There are 4 clips from practice on Saturday that total to about 20 minutes of video.

Sunday I shot all top 16 to finish runs in which I will have edited and uploaded in the next 48 hours, so stay tuned.
 
Very good video, very good.

Almost every run bill made was very consistent and was on line, next to those clipping points.

blake was doing good as well.

OK Nopi is officialy the most dangerous drift series in america.When are they goona get it that K Rails are a bad idea to layout a corse.For christ sake there have been 1 totaled car at every event and the track layouts are commit or die no room for error.Someone should write a letter!

P.S. No one huged me wen I was young just to that story straight.

^^ Yea seriously, why cant we get foam walls like the Japan tracks? Cause they want spectators to come, thats why. People come because they hear crazy people are sliding cars near concrete walls. Think about it, your Nopi and you make money off spectators at these events, I think your going to try to make it as crazy to watch as possible. Point is, they dont care about the drivers, only making money. They know everyone who wants to get big is in Nopi drift series and no matter what track they layout, people will drift it because they want to win and they want to get their name out there. If they did tracks like this for the famous drifters like Rhys Millen or Samuel or any Japan D1 people you know theyd be like "Fuck that, thats a retarded layout thats unsafe and I dont want to take the risk for this shit" and theyd be outta there. Nopi just does it because they know they can and get away with it and make profit. Especially when people hear, "yo like 5 cars crashed at this Drift thing, WE HAVE TO GO, it sounds insane!". Hopefully people pick up on this and do something.
 
I love the layouts and courses that they run, I dont like that they have everything lined with k-rails. Although based off the miami event, using k-rails allows the spectators to be close to the course and the cars running. So its nice for the people watching the event, close and in the action. although for the sake of the cars being destroyed maybe they could line the course with hay bails then have k-rails for the spectators 20ft behind the bails for run off room????
 
How about that K-Rail that divided one side of the course from the other here in Miami. Blake Fuller almost ate it head on. That was extremely dangerous. Their courses look fun and entertaining, but it's very dangerous. Nopi needs to start doing events on actual tracks. Formula D has some parking lot events, but their K-Rails look to be placed a little better, but Formula D also has actual track events too. D1 USA isn't making much of an impact here for some odd reason. Oh well.

The camera wobbling on the first part was making me go crazy. But the rest were fine. Overall great vids!

i was trying to get situated, holding a 20lb camera over your head with one hand and holding/tilting the LCD with another while panning isnt the easiest thing to do unfortunately.

i dont think that the course layout was a death trap, just maybe a little too advanced for most, there just isnt room for error.

Damn, that sucks. I figured something was up.
 
hahahahahaha.....Nopi is Seriously starting to look pretty Gay....Why?? why make tracks with K-Rails and u would want someone to seriously fuck up and crash bad....good driver or not, a little bad judgment or bad instinct and ur hitting something and its fucking u up....HEY Tracy....how about telling ur friends over at Nopi to look into this site....maybe save peoples cars that they build and spend money on. its called www.efoamstore.com they can make whatever size foam u request......this is what the PROs use for their events...maybe u should start looking into to it!
 
Well that was shitty driving anyway. If you can't break the ass end of a viper lose in 2nd gear on the first try, you fail.

I'm betting the krails are an insurance thing. NOPI wants events all over but since they know they're not getting FD sized crowds, they're not renting out tracks. So how do you get spectators close to the action "safely" in a parking lot? Yeah.

Gotta disagree there. I've seen tracks with K-rails that are way more forgiving than what NOPI does. NOPI Miami was a disgrace to anything you'd consider a track layout.

Oye Raffi... you guys are the licensed drivers. Voice your opinions or they'll keep doing whatever they can to put you guys through the K-Rails.

Oh no, I'm not saying their track layouts are very smart (as far as car safety is concerned). I'm saying, krails are probably the only way they can get the crowds up front and personal (per insurance requirements). No, most of their track layouts are retarded if they want to see drivers return.
