NOPI Nats replacement *UPDATE*

[Jaimecbr900]

Alright folks, I've been asked to not let the whole cat out of the bag, but I will pass on what I'm allowed to.

AMS is indeed planning on putting something on in the place of the now cancelled NOPI Nats.

The initial idea right now, and nothing is in stone as of yet, for a car show/drag race/stereo type of event.

It is DEFINETLY in the works, but the details haven't been ironed out as of today. I don't know prices, classes, or payouts. I do know that there will be NO hydraulics, NO bikini, and of course NO big entertainer type of thing. It's going to be more like a BIG car show with racing.

Please pass this on to other sites you belong to.

Please also give any feedback on this in THIS thread. I was asked to relay the feedback back to my guy to try and finalize all the plans.

So discuss.

i'm sure they'll just tie this into their friday night drag series in some way or another with maybe a lean towards imoprts or something...good work bro

should be interesting and i'm still up for going to check it out...they have killer turnout for friday night drags so i bet with a lil work nopi type of an event could still happen...i like it even more with a drag type event tied to it

Yay!!! Nopi Nats was pretty awesome/over rated at the same time anyways!
Too expensive! Hopefully this will be cheaper and better!

Atleast something is in the works!! =)

Heck the ride to and from was the best part for me anyways! Getting to see the cars on the road was way better then them just sitting there off!

[Andr3w]

It sucks about NOPI. I will come out to this and give my support though.

Something needs to fill the void.

[B18c1Turboed]

I think its a good idea. but it wont be as big and Nopi Nationals. After alot of people find out Nopi cannceleed it, they will make other plans altoghter!
Im sure AMS saw how much more money they could makecutting nopi out, but unless they got huge sponsors it wont be the same!!

[DaMaGe ZWK]

hell yeah something needs to replace it...

[WalkS]

They race the 1/8..

Oh...nevermind. LOL

but i'll still support them.

[David88vert]

No hydros? But I've already got that one covered with the 64 ...

[Big J]

Something needs to fill the void.

it takes years to develop something as rice tastic as the NOPI nats, and years for the judges to learn to vote for cars that look like they spent thousands and thousands of dollars ordering stuff from the companies who's parts you just happen to pimp.

Maybe w/ Fast and Furious 4 in the works the new movie can revive the NOPI nats.

[SPOOLIN]

1/8? Who cares, if they have a pay out, ill do some 1/8 mile racing...at this event. Sounds like fun. They always needed that at the nopi nationals, AMS just found a way to actually do it. If everything gets planned, ill show up.

[0p7!mu5]

if its the same date and cheaper and there is a turnout then im willin to make that drive.+6

[boostedb16]

hell yea count me in. i loved going to nopi for the car's. please tell me they will have that lemonaid that they made during nopi lol.

[JASONBALL]

is this the same location as nats.

I have no problem with the 1/8 mile. I'd rather race the 1/4 mile though.
But if they do have actual event and payouts, then i'll show up and play!

[black_e92]

it blows that NOPI nats wont be going on this year

[bigdare23]

Cool

From what I've read Nopi wasn't cut out of anything. They are in financial troubles so they've canceled ALL of their events. AMS has nothing to do with it.

[ultm8mind]

BIKINI CONTEST AND FOAM PIT, need I say more?? LOL, AMS needs to associate that into the mix. But that's just my humble opinion.

[Brady]

i heard qd was going to be a judge.

[blacknightteg]

the nopi nats was cool and all. but it really got away from the tuner people and tried to appeal to the masses with all the things like the music concerts, bikini contest(not that im complaining)etc. i think the whoel idea of the car show part was cool but like alot of people said it wasnt judged correctly at all. not that i ever entered a car into it. but yea. all i am saying is that for AMS to kinda take up the slack and do something like this might in the long run appeal to alot more tuners and people in the car world. so hell ya! to this idea

[DevilK9]

If y'all still want the foam pit or jello wrestling ring from NOPI, let me know. I'll hook you up with the owners. They are both stored locally and I'm sure they'd give you excellent rental rates.

I'm interested in helping. Our events company has a fair amount of resources to help make an event happen. Jaime, you have my number call me if you like.
