They don't have a site yet, 2 months out, and they're expecting 200 to 500 cars? That's a tall order, and difficult to organize. I had no idea that the original NOPI meet was even cancelled.

Several of us just got back from Zoom-Fest at Road Atlanta, run in conjunction with a 3-day race weekend for the Atlanta Region SCCA Regional Runoffs. Come on up next year.

I'm not sure what your getting at with this post and nopi. But if these guys are going to attempt to replace nopi and the nationals, they have a long way to go and short time to get there. It takes a lot of coordination of time and money to pull off a show of that magnitude. Better get started now for next year, they'll need it if thats their intension.

found it!! this came from www.importatlanta.com site:

Yes we are still on! September 20 and 21


GEAIGIA INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTER - I N D O O R S


no AMS event this year

Wow, you guys sure know how to blog! The rumor mill in this industry is unbelievable! Anyway, after a long hard week of negotiations, we are moving the Nationals to the beautiful facilities at GICC by the Atlanta Airport. Don't FREAK, your same hotel reservations will be fine. The place is off Camp Creek Parkway almost at the airport so all the 19/41 area hotels are just a couple of miles away and still the cheapest! The show will be mostly an inside deal (air conditioned and NO rain!). We will party like no other! We will have tons of cars in the car show and vendors galore, a gigantic swimsuit competition, and yes lots of live music. I have compiled as much information as I could into this cheesy web builder lame website.
The new one with online registration is coming (I promise), so stay tuned this next week because indoor space will be limited!

Here's What We Do Know!

Nothing can ever take the place of a 20 year tradition,
But we are sure gonna try!!!

What do ya get when you take hundreds of awesome show cars, tons of industry vendors,
continuous live music, AND the world's most beautiful women - IT"S THE NATIONALS, Duh!
Well we are on for the Atlanta Classic event, that fine fall day in the ATL.
In this briefing I will
attempt to tell you everything I know so far:

Admission Pricing:

Saturday Only - $30
Sunday Only - $25
Saturday and Sunday - $50

Car Show Entry Fee - $65
(Includes Admission For Two Saturday and Sunday)

We will have tons of car show classes (find out more when registration goes live this week).

There will be some special prize money for car clubs!

And did I mention tons of gorgeous women?

Need more info? Send us an email!
All will be available this coming week . . .

Georgia International Convention Center

Let's Party!

Need More Info?

jbird@motorsportnationals.com

jbird has his own production company. And I spoke with Bobby Evans today, its not got anything to do with Nopi. The Myers brothers have nothing to do with it, not to say anything bad about them. But Jbird is doing this his self apparently.

Mike was suppose to call me yesterday but I guess he didn't get back from his doctors appt. They are all still friends and such I wouldn't be suprised if they got together sometime down the road if not on this show, then maybe some others. Are any of you going. Hey David, I need a TII driveshaft. You got any?
