NOPI Drift Utah is Canceled!
Posted by admin on 12 Jun 2008 | Tagged as: NOPI
Jesse Poole at Theory Communication just sent out a PR release informing everyone that the Utah Drift event and the Denver drag event have been canceled. No make up/replacement events have been assigned.
Here is what the PR had to say.
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.
The next NOPI event will take place at the New England Dragway on August 2nd and 3rd. Please stay tuned for future news and events from NOPI Motorsports for the 2008 season. If you have any questions, you may contact Jesse Poole at Theory Communication and Design at jpoole@theoryconcept.com or 954.428.1800.

What a great event out in the midwest. It was way to hot as the temperature lingered in the high 90’s but everyone made it out alive. Check out the Wrecked Magazine gallery by By Clicking here!

After NOPI Drift Erie we jetted over to Chicago but got stopped by the Indiana State Patrol. Our sales guy Jayke Milton was behind the wheel and this is what took place. 80 in a 70, weak!

Check out our photos from Erie, Pennsylvania’s first ever NOPI Drift. It rained and felt like the middle of fall but the event went well and for the few drivers who arrived they all had a blast. PLUS it was the first time in 2008 we actually made the media list. Congrats to our man JPoole for finally figuring out how to send our names in!
