The first day of the NOPI Englishtown tour stop was not one enjoyed by the many die hard fans that attended. But even through the winded chills and clouded skies, fans of NOPI showed how die hard they can be. While the drag competitors go head to head on the Englishtown stretch, the drift competition was heating up as the NOPI drifters pushed their vehicle to the limit for the finals the next day. Both the drag strip and drift course provided the necessary heat needed, but as far as the NOPI Chics go, they were all bundled up.

 
Even though the first day was not as enjoyable (mainly because the weather sucks), the returning NOPI fans was awarded with nothing other than blue skies, sunshine and of course, the NOPI chics in their bikinis. Cooper Tires, Full Race, Performance JDM, GM, NOS, Xplod and many more vendors were on hand representing their products and giving out free shirts and gifts. But with all that's being said, the highlight of the NOPI Englishtown tour stop was not just the drag event or the drift course, it was mainly the bikini contest, with the NOPI chics showing the crowd why they are who they are.
 

When i first got to the Dulles Expo Center the parking lot was pretty much empty, but as soon as the show started, everybody was rolling in filling up each individual parking space available. It's safe to say that HIN was pretty much going on inside and out. There were people with their rides hooked up outside in the parking lot with the crowds of people surrounding whatever caught their attention. Inside, we had the MC battles and the Bboy competition shortly afterwards on the urban stage. The model booth was hosted by the likes of KT-So, Jenny Chu and Ursula Mayes to meet and greet their fans (but of course there were models walking around everywhere). From the hot cars to the even hotter models standing next to them, no one in DC even realized the Pope came and visit. (If you missed HIN in DC, then you can catch Nightshift at Landover, MD. in June.)
 

Despite society's view on tuners as trouble making car thieves with nothing else better to do but rally up and roll around with our speakers up and our windows down, we tuners rallied up and rolled straight into the Richard Stockton College parking lot in support of the war against breast cancer. Being cold and windy, the weather was still not enough to stop the many tuner enthusiasts of the Northeast from showing up and supporting the cause. The event was sponsored by Pride Performance, NOS energy drink, and NJTuners and raised over $10,000 towards funding for the cure.
