So I just found out... by reading this on Wrecked
http://wreckedmagazine.com/blog/2008/07/16/nopi-drift-is-no-more/

July 16, 2008 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.
 
cant say that this was a surprise

but no nopi nationals is crazy... i have been going to them since highschool!
 
^ A Florida series with multiple track use.....point holdings too!

ONLY FLORIDA DRIVERS.....AND I MEAN ALL OF FLORIDA!
from the keys to jacksonville
 
We or anyone out there reading need to follow the blueprints MSC set up on how to hold a semi-pro event that caters to the grassroots drivers(either just for fun drivers or drivers wanting to move up the ladder). MSC events looks like some of the most fun drift events I've seen. An all star event would be awesome :bigthumbu.
 
oh well... I guess I've got more time to get ready for pro-am haha.
 
maybe harri,tim and the central florida guys should get to gether and put a little point series together. (moroso, countyline, homestead, desoto, osw) with different classes (begginer, amateur, advanced) make it span over a couple months.
