NOPI Motorsports Cancels Summer and Fall events for 2008

It is with great regret that NOPI Motorsports, LLC has suspended operations for the summer and fall 2008. This will include NOPI Drag Racing Series, NOPI Drift Series and the NOPI NATIONALS Motorsports Supershow. The company is undergoing an organizational restructuring in light of severe adverse affects of a disappointing spring season. The economy and unfavorable weather resulted in underperformance of all spring events. Michael Meyers, president of NOPI Motorsports, reports that NOPI Motorsports is working with its clients and sponsors to minimize the uncertainty going forward. This is a reflection of the economic times in which we currently live. The countrywide economic and industry downturn has caused a slowdown and tightening of belts. 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. All of you are our friends and we have felt for many years that we were all a big family.

NOPI Motorsports hates this more than anyone as the many years of hard work, tradition and an industry we helped to shape would come to this.

Hope this wasn't a repost-

That sucks, looks like I am going to have to find a better place on tv to see hot girls

Well It Doesn't Help That When Nopi Came To St Louis They Didn't Even Have Drag Racing!!

Yup, blame the economy for their hardships, not themselves for poor management decision making, underfunded marketing and wasteful spending. There's a reason for the restructuring and there's more to it than just the economy.

damnit.. i was so looking forward for this years show in september... man.. this sucks.

Eh, its not much of a surprise to me considering the state of the economy.

WHOA WAIT.... guys we can still salvage something out of the bikini contest! I see no problem in taking the personal burden of transporting all of the models to your venues on top of that I won't even charge u for the gas...... wat do u say...... hello[paranoid]

dude that sucks!! I look forward to NOPI every time they come down here

We need an alternative to NOPI in case they pull this crap again. Playboy TV should just start showing off some cars. I'd watch it for the articles.

ANNOUNCEMENT

J.Bird announces the launch of
The Motorsport Nationals Supershow
Atlanta Motor Speedway
September 20 and 21, 2008.

After the overwhelming outpouring from thousands of fans and the entire motorsports industry, NOPI TV star J.Bird announces his effort to launch the Motorsport Nationals Supershow to be held on September 20 and 21, 2008 at the Atlanta Motor Speedway. After hearing that NOPI Motorsports, LLC had announced cancellation of the NOPI Nationals, J.Bird began his effort to launch and promote another event to replace the NOPI event. “We just couldn’t let everyone down, the show at the speedway has grown to be one of the largest of it’s kind in the world”, J.Bird was quoted as saying earlier today. The Supershow will have much of the same look and feel as in years gone by, with thousands of show cars and trucks in the car show, a gigantic burn out contest, tons of industry vendors and booths, live music from top artists, and of course a swimsuit competition which will include all those beautiful girls you’ve come to expect whenever J.Bird hits a motorsports stage! The one new element the show will include for 2008 will be drag racing! Atlanta Motor Speedway has been developing quite a drag racing program on Friday nights over the past few years, and the show will try to incorporate that element into the 2008 Supershow.
