Jet Sprint Time!!!!!!

July 16, 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.

Please watch nopi.com for future announcements.

but... but... what about the poor kid with the dancing bed that spent a year's worth of blockbuster video salary in preparation for that one event?

luckily the drifters have Marcos so they're in the clear.

I feel really bad for the people who committed to the series this year. I'm sure some sponsors will understand... some won't. Can't say I didn't see it coming... I just didn't think it would be so soon.

I totally hated drifting after Nopi Nationals last year... and decided I would never attend any of their events... ever again. Marcos' events are lightyears cooler than a fraction of a Nopi Drift event.

Honestly... I hope the door hits them on their way out.
