NOPI Cancels 2008 Summer and Fall Events
Due to a disappointing spring season, NOPI Motorsports, LLC has suspended operations for the summer and fall 2008 seasons. This includes cancellation of the NOPI Drift Series, NOPI Drag Racing Series, and the NOPI Nationals Motorsports Supershow. Unfavorable weather conditions and a weak US economy are listed as reasons for a lackluster spring season.
“This is a reflection of the economic times in which we currently live,” reads NOPI’s press release. “This affects everyone and companies, at all levels, and NOPI Motorsports is no different. We understand the position this puts everyone in and we hope you can find in your heart to work with us through this terrible time.”
In light of NOPI’s financial woes, the company is restructuring and hopes to continue NOPI events in the future.

ha thats funny. i knew this would happen to nopi when they cut the tv show. i was at the nopi st. louis show and they had cameras, but no speed cameras. that was the 1st sign, but it will be missed. i hope they come back out next year!
Nopi may be canceled, but a bunch of guys from Savannah GA are putting together an event called nonopi. for more info go to http://nonopi.com
