Default Did anyone else get this email from NOPI today?

Northeast Car Clubs,

I wanted to send you an email to invite your club to participate in the NOPI Car Show at E-Town on August 29-30. This event will include a Redline Time Attack event. If your club would like to participate, let me know and I’ll add you to the Participating club page with links to your website. Also if you’re in the NEW YORK/NEWARK area, what radio station do you recommend we advertise on?

Details are at NOPI.com

I hope to see you there.

So I guess they are still in business and still doing car shows, just no more racing. I thought they were done and out of business after last year?

Because they were a big force as to how our sport was doing in the past, without a big sanctioning body a lot of people are discouraged. To each their own on that point, but as stated above it does affect people.

Interesting . . . .

I guess since they are still around they should work on paying back some of the sponsors of the classes that they bailed on midway through last year . . . .

This post is really my secret NOPI darg car build thread. Sit tight as you will soon see pictures of my spinners, underbody neon, windshield washer lights and of course a bunch of half naked drunk girls jello wrestling in my trunk.

HAHA I wish. If I could be home for more then a day and a half I might actually be able to get some work done on my car. I will make it out to one event this year and pretty sure I won't be wearing a shirt.


But I thought it was interesting that NOPI is having a car show when I thought they owed a lot of people money. Maybe they are trying to make a come back and this is their first step. As much as people hate them and are pissed what they did, I really miss traveling around and just hanging out with all the racers, going to dinner and having fun...

Making money by giving empty promises to sponsors who willingly handed over money expecting a race season to happen. . .

Man that sounds like a move that a dirty politician would make. . .

Nopiman should run for state senate, he would definitely win

Most businesses fail, so did theirs and coming into a tough economy. They gave a pretty long run at it and gave many good years. I think I raced my first NOPI race in Wisconsin like 11 or 12 years ago.

More than half our country CHOSE a dirty politician to be our leader and look where it has us headed. I think people don't mind taking it in the ***...you know as long as they get their stimulus check LOL

blah blah blah

NOPI left a bad taste in my mouth folding midway through the season and NHRASC left a bad taste in my mouth after i sat in the season ending banquet and they talked about how good the 07 season was and how sony was going to continue to be a sponsor. I had a feeling then because 08 was never mentioned that something seemed strange, but i blew it off. Then a few days later talk of a merger. WTF!!!!

I do miss following a national series. I have no need to build a pro car and feel bad for those that built them and planned on racing a high profile series.
