I guess people expect to win every event when you dump a stroker + TT + mike's trufire paint job + bunch of suede....the end justifies the means in this world of tuning, it doesn't matter how much you paid or how much you've done, if it doesn't look good at the end, no one cares.

3-industry icon with upcoming tv show again with conflicting sponsor with HIN

A lot of winners have conflicting sponsorships with HIN.

I dont know what everyones b!tchin about... Both cars look great, granted one is 99.9% paid for by a major oil company.

Dara I think the million trophies and Ca$h prizes over the last 2 seasons should be enough. Big deal so you didnt win, get over it. Its a trailer queen anyways.

After all the 2006 shows Ncca totals all the points earned from each car. There are several catagorys. In the Infinity catagory Dara was 1st with 1,000+ points. Next with 700+ was this guy Mike Wasser. He won the Best Infinity of the 2006 show season and the $700 bucks. So Dara's complaint is that she was in 1st place, but the 2nd place guy got the award. I guess nobody knows why.

Here is the results of all catagorys.

P.S. If that is Dara pretending to be a 3rd person....WOW, that is so sad. You have been in the show scene for years and you haven't figured out that there are politics in the judging? HAHAHA I've seen a lot worse. Make an appeal to NCCA, not to us.

Why is it that an INFINITI owner still spell it "INFINITY" ?????

THat's probably why the prize was awarded to another "INFINITI" owner....

The whole point is money talks, valvoline pays HIN over $500,000.00 dollars a year to promote at events Valvoline tour cars such as davids h lexus ect.. won even before the season started, it is all politics HIN has been trying to hold Dara Sodano down because she is affiliated with companys that dont invest in HIN . Dara Sodano is the most highly respected person in the industry, because she did not follow HIN but took her own path,and fought to make the industry better and more fair for others.I am very proud of Dara and sorry for so much trouble she had to go threw. I am a head judge for ncca and can now say Dara Sodano's car would have been the best car of the ncca 2006 season undefeated. NCCA will make big changes with HIN for 2007 season .

Mike Wasser's car is sick and definately one of my favorites, and i think if he had the most Infiniti points then he should win. However i don't know how many HIN events Dara attended, but i know that Wasser's car was an HIN tour car so his car definately attended alot of shows allowing him to compete more.

Best Vehicle of the South
German Sanchez $1000.00

woohoo 16niss car!
