2008 NOPI Nationals Canceled
I starting getting texts yesterday about the Nats being canceled, and the rumor is true. NOPI has canceled all future events to restructure the business.
Here is the release from the NOPI Site:
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.

Where have you been the past 4 years and no I'm not blaming bush (he wasn't actually that bad if he just stayed away and didn't mess with the economy).
From Personal experience a letter like that is saying someone please buy us out.

Atlanta Motor Speedway is still having the event. It's just not going to be sponsored by NOPI. The new show will be called the Motorsport Nationals Super Show and will be on the same dates.

Got this email from Mark Meyers
Yes we are still on! September 20 and 21
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 . . .
LOTS MORE TO FOLLOW
Georgia International Convention Center
Let's Party!
Need More Info?

I'm not even surprised over the last few yrs it started blowin, same ol cars, same ol theme. they need to put restrictions on ricers IMO the only event worth anything anymore is Formula D Drift, the parkin lot was way better than Nopi. Damn near 240sx Heaven, b/c No honda's drift except the s2000 so I guess they don't go Woot!!
