From Nopidrag.com -
Effective immediately, NOPI Motorsports is forced to cancel two upcoming NOPI Events located in Colorado (Drag Race and Car Show) previously set for June 21st and 22nd as well as the Utah event (Drag Race, Drift and Car Show) previously set for July 18th and 19th of 2008. NOPI Motorsports has faced extreme weather at their past 8 events, which has affected NOPI events in a great way. Each event the NOPI staff has pushed through these adversities to accommodate all of its sponsors, racers and fans in the best way possible given the circumstances. Many times events have been postponed and made up at a future event due to weather shutting down tracks and making it unsafe to run on.
This unfortunate turn of events has placed a major financial burden on NOPI Motorsports, which already faces an extremely challenging economy. With fuel costs at a record high, people are watching all of their extracurricular activities, and taking a chance at attending an event that would possibly be affected by weather plays a negative roll. “We have been running top notch events for years now,” said Michael Meyers, President of NOPI Motorsports. “I have never been faced with anything like this. We are having incredible support from racers and fans this year, in fact some of the best action we’ve ever seen has taken place here in 2008. There was no way to forecast any of this. We are working through all of it to see how we can make these events up. I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused to everyone. This is a major setback for NOPI Motorsports and new territory for all of us.”


Makeup events have not been announced for the two cancelled events located in Colorado and Utah. The NOPI Motorsports staff is working on the possibility of makeup rounds, as well as determining points towards the 2008 championships. Each of these issues will be addressed here shortly.

 

damn...
i hope this isnt a bigger problem than they're letting on..

 

there went both west coast races......

 

There's a lot going on behind the scenes. I read this when it was posted on Hondatech, I posted my thoughts on there as well.

I'm curious to see if BOTI is going to take off now because of this, seems like a lot of people are pissed about the cancellation of those events.

 

You guys at least have places to race around your area. Here in Southern California we dont' have ****!

 

Thats becouse in california racing might offend someone,something,or just about anything else!

 

i thought people only move to california to be gay and get married

 

That and to open a yard trimming buisness!

 

What about road race? you forget to throw that in your sentence

 

You guys got that right. There's nothing but tree huggers and flower sniffers over here." It's too loud and polutes too much and so on.." All you guys that have dragstrips close by I envy you and your a lucky sob's. hehe

Thanks for that link.
It sure brought back memories of when import racing use to be fun.

 

The good times are coming back once again, all the hollywood racers left once the sponsor money was no there, now only the real racers who love the sport are left standing.....
