The Man with the NOPI Plan comes to Formula D!

NOPI Drift fired all their judges last year (Wes Hamichi, Jacob Leveton, and Ernie Fimxer) in what seemed to unfold as the worst move of the 2008 season for them. The 08 season without them present launched with controversy in Miami and resulted in some reorganization off the bat. Apparently Formula D admired the talents of Ernie Fixmer a little more than the NOPI camp and has hired him as the new judge for Formula D! Ernie had this to say!
“I am very excited and honored to have been chosen to fulfill this responsibility as a Formula DRIFT judge, and hope that my contributions will help the development of this motorsport, not only in the United States, but internationally,” said Ernie Fixmer, Formula DRIFT judge. “I believe that my experience will help guide my input so that we, as a collective panel of judges, continue to make fair and unbiased decisions.”
We will see former D1 driver Ernie Fixmer in action on the stand in Las Vegas.
IS this a JOKE!?
Desparation is a sad thing. I sat thru this guys drivers meetings at a Nopi event last year. “Uhhhh guys take this line, and I don’t know what line to take here, do whatever feels good for ya.” Ebrake entry at Irwindale is where its at!
“Ebrake entry at Irwindale is where its at!”
WOW Burn of the century hahaha
I love Ernie. He is a cool guy and I remember his days in D1 back when, nice choice Formula D.
someone needs to give him a car to drive in FD instead of judging it
