Yup, it's true. Our buddies over at SoundDomain have confirmed with NOPI headquarters that the giant September 15th Atlanta event—billed as the "Largest Car Show in the World"—has been canceled. Here's the text of the press release:
"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."
NOPI won the CarDomain People's Choice Award for "Best Car Show" last year, and everyone here hopes the restructuring helps the company get back in the black. Stay tuned to SoundDomain for all the news regarding the IASCA World Finals.
