NOPI cancelled for 2008

[fatti03msp]

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.

That sucks but really, it's their fault for hiring a deranged killer as their president.

So they screwed up their finances, and now they're trying to avoid bankruptcy or a buyout?

Oh well.

 

[evilmonkeyMSP]

ooooh, maybe HIN is next? That would be swell hahahaha

 

[TinmanMS6]

...or maybe HIN will buy out NOPI and dominate the ricer scene!
