Aww no more NOPI this year

Wrecked Magazine Blog - Drifting’s #1 source of information and stupid! » NOPI Drift is no more!

Quote:
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

So they skuttled the rest of the season because they weren't making enough money?
Um then that effectively guarantees no chance of making up the money.
WTF kind of business model is that?

NOPI is and has been a joke for years anyways. It only attracts the automotively-retarded.

It does suck for the competitors that built cars to compete in the series, but it is what it is.

I wonder if their business model was based on it. Every week I recieve more and more emails with their special sales and the parts aren't anything you would buy to build a car for speed.

Even their stupid show which when you FFWD through all the girls and people who like to body kit their cars showed maybe a few minutes total of the guys who were putting a lot of time and effort into their racing to get down the track and win.

I think it was a matter of poor looking ahead in their business model.
