NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005
NOPI Motorsports and IPOWER DASH Series join forces creating NOPiPOWER Inc.
NOPiPOWER is hosting ten events in 2005. Speedways like LOWES Motor Speedway in Charlotte NC and Road Courses like Road Atlanta in GA. We are currently mainstreaming the series by introducing new engine programs, innovative aerodynamic body panels and wings to improve the look and performance of these racing sport coupes. Currently there are over 40 pro teams with cars like the Cavalier, Celica and Sunfire with 6 cylinder spec engines and speeds up to 160mph Looking at the RSX, RX8 and 350Z and others to add to line-up along with others to follow.
Each event will include a NOPI style car show and events. Lots of other racing will be taking place the same weekend. We're looking at a Mean Miata race, Pro Drifting exhibitions or competitions, Autocrossing, Pro Compact Drag Racing at compatible facilities and maybe a touring car type race. Planning has just begun for the 2005 season so not many details to report yet. Please tell me what you think. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (NOPIMAN)
what road courses? dates?
stock cars only? or other classes as well?
Im assuming this is just a different sponsor of the goodys dash series, but hopefully i am wrong.

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (FF lotus)
The NASCAR Dash series, now "ipower" is actually the series for "compact coups" so no Tauri. Cavalier, Sunfire.. are the bodies of choice, and when it was NASCAR, this is where Toyota threw their hat in the ring for the first time. So it at least does have a history os compact motorsports. If you ask me its probably the best way for them to go with NASCAR Trucks/Busch/Nextel cup taking their efforts away from the dash series.
the Dash series till now at least has been an inexpensive series to run, with used cars and engines in the $10k range, and annual budgets in the 40-50k range. This would put the new "Nopi" dash series a step below the Grand Am cup, which is a sidestep to SPEED WC of course.
On one hand I am not a fan of another series to dilute sponsorship possibilites from SWC and such, but on another hand, if its promoted well, the already low entry cost could make it a viable series.

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (racerjon1)
So what you end up with is a low-tech car with performance in the SCCA GT3 range, with groovy bodywork and funkadelic graphics, running on ovals and road courses. Sounds like a winner.

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (NOPIMAN)
very interesting.. especially once they say what these new bodywork designs and what chassis they're for are..
EDIT:
apparently Miatas are already in, as part of the "Mean Miata" series..
anybody know anyone who's actually raced in this stuff? maybe some of the SM guys know..?
pic I jacked from their site(can't link straight to it --- I like the H2 pacecar

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (NOPIMAN)
More info:
THE IPOWER DASH STORY
At its inception, 29 years ago, the DASH Series was designed for drivers to learn, grow, and hone their skills on many of the same short tracks and super speedways upon which the national series compete - thus providing an experience that would ultimately become a stepping stone or ladder system for the driver to move through the ranks to the highest levels of racing. Many great drivers have come through the Dash Series, proving the system works.
In the 1990’s as the Cup Series enjoyed explosive exposure, the sanctioning bodies’ attention on the DASH Series waned and therefore the potential was not fully realized by the industry. As NASCAR evaluated its business plan, the DASH Series uniqueness hindered it from fitting the development model set forth by the former owners. NASCAR then determined to find a suitable motorsports organization that could offer the Series the focus necessary to propel it to a well deserved level of exposure; thusly transferring the DASH Series to a group called IPOWER, (International Participants of Winning Edge Racing).
After looking at the various elements of the industry it was clear to see that the racing world needed the DASH Series. There is a void, in the circle track industry, which can only be filled by the Sport Coupe race car. There is a vast untapped market that targets the 16 to 34 age bracket. Bottom line, the DASH Series, combined with an out of the box marketing effort and a new look offered tremendous possibilities. Given the opportunity, we felt the Series could achieve solid positioning in the racing community as well as in the mind of the public.
So, in come the new guys:
It may seem to some that IPOWER burst onto the stage sporting new ideas and attempting to re-invent the wheel.
However the fact is that IPOWER’s management team worked for months behind the scenes researching the industry to find ways in which to position the DASH Series for rejuvenation. IPOWER then focused in on the unique qualities of the DASH Series to set the Series apart and put in place the ladder process that the series was originally designed to facilitate.
IPOWER’s continued research revealed that fans who have previously been exposed to the DASH Series touted it as some of the best racing in the entire industry. DASH races have always offered exciting, competitive, fender to fender racing action that is fun to watch. Yet it was also discovered that many, who follow NASCAR’s top three divisions, have not been aware that there is a DASH Series.
For 29 years the DASH Series has existed in the shadows, and now all of that is about to change.
Studies have revealed that, even with NEXTEL Cup, 70% of the fan population, while watching a race, don’t know who’s driving the cars from about the sixth position back. It is difficult for someone new to the sport to quickly identify a particular driver for which to “pull.”
Oval track racing in the United States has ignored the fastest growing segment of consumer cars. The demographic the savvy marketers are trying to reach is the 16 to 34 age group. This group doesn’t buy a Monte Carlo or a Taurus as a norm. Also brand loyalty now covers everything from Toyota’s to Nissans and everything in between. Through the years the objection to the foreign manufacturer has diminished.
The race fan is changing and demanding more. A quote from a 21 year old student we surveyed at a local college. ”We don’t want to sit through a 4 hour parade, its boring.” They desire quick, action packed entertainment. We have also received the same response from long time race fans when they relate to races that run long with nose to tail, follow the leader action on the track.
IPOWER and its participants must also understand their role in the industry. It was never meant to be competition for NEXTEL Cup, but to accent it - to be a support and feeder series.
Today IPOWER is taking on additional responsibilities. Not only is it our responsibility to introduce racing to up and coming drivers and allow them a venue to learn and grow, but also new, up and coming fans will naturally be attracted by our divisions.
We are the only series that can capture the natural look, and race the sport coupe and compact cars that they drive on a daily basis.
IPOWER also discovered that the industry and fans 16 to 34 of age would accept change if we provided a means of quicker, easier identification and acceptance. They wanted an exciting format that set the series apart from the current model of stock car racing, and that the fans wanted to be entertained while watching a sporting event.
ANSWERS, DIRECTION and CHANGE
One key ingredient for success is that the DASH Series must be seen. Our ability to succeed hinges on the amount of exposure we can generate. Thus, we have created “The IPOWER Winning Edge.” This will be a magazine format TV Show that is designed to feature the DASH Series drivers as well as supporting venues and sponsors. The show is hosted by Joe Moore, and will air weekly on national TV featuring highlights of each event. It will also include behind the scenes human interest stories and race facts.
With a solid focus on the DASH Series, the show will give the American public the opportunity to see great racing and learn about the Series, as well as follow the drivers throughout their career.
The show will target the 16 to 34 year old demographic by giving them the chance to see the same type of car they are driving, racing on a circle track. It will also position our races to be carried live on National TV when the opportunity allows.
When NASCAR was formed there was a need for a huge number to be placed predominantly on the doors and roof of the race car. The numbers were used to allow the person in timing and scoring to keep up with the car each time it crossed the start/finish line to maintain the proper order on the track and also decide the winner. With the addition of electronic timing devices, and transponders that are placed on the car scoring is now done automatically minimizing the necessity for the large number.
Through the years, drivers and teams have named their race cars. Rusty Wallace’s favorite car was named, “Midnight.” He talked about, rebuilt and raced that car so many times that in the NASCAR garage it took on a personality of its own, and also became known to the American public.
Therefore to make a change, to be different, and to allow the new race fan to immediately pull for an entity, the decision was made to allow the drivers and owners to name their cars and develop the “Midnight” situations for their teams.
Give the cars a name and personality. Racing with personality - Imagine vivid paint schemes prominently announcing the name of the car. Easy identification, colorful name and natural tie-ins….sponsors, home towns, nick names will become a focus. Kids, adults, and collectors will love the variety and message.
The decision has been made to allow the paint schemes to be graphic and exciting and if acceptable to flow with the naming concept. Also in the interest of a sponsor, this could prove to be a positive addition to help them announce new products or for selling existing products.
For instance, Idaho Potatoes could name their car, “Spud.” Or, a beef company could name their car, “T-Bone.”
The possibilities are endless and this addition allows the DASH Series to offer sponsors something no other racing entity can.
Also, through the 2004 Season, efforts will be made to allow the cars a natural look of their sport versions driven on the street via wings and ground effects. This will only happen after the proper testing has deemed the changes will enhance the handling characteristics of the racecar and improve driver safety.
As you can see, there are only a few changes being made. The facts are that DASH Series racing is some of the finest in the industry today. We are simply giving our customers what they are asking for, changing our appearance and placing it on TV and allowing the American Public, young and old alike, to see and enjoy IPOWERacing.

Negative. We might have Autocrossing or Drift competitons you can enter with your own car on site but for the main event its PRO RACING.

Speaking of cute shirt sayings, you may know...
Stock car racing - where the fans know all of the drivers' names
Road racing - where the drivers know all of the fans' names
Think laterally here for a minute, guys: Wouldn't you like to be able to run a racing program that is something like viable, in a commercial sense? It takes fans to make that work.
I'm going to suggest that this idea has a lot of merit whether it appeals to the purists in this crowd or not.

Re: NOPI Announces Road Corse and Oval Track Series for 2005 (Knestis)
I think its a great idea personally, its just the cost of entry in a tube-frame "stockcar" series that make it improbable for most
