NOPI Nats replacement *UPDATE*

[OneDurtyZ]

How did you come to this conclusion?

i have eyes, you can see less and less car folks on the road, for better or worse it peaked around early 2000s, and do you honestly think gas will ever go down? srsly?...oh and my brother works for SEMA. Aftermarket industry has been going downhill for a while. It wont go away but a lot of 'fat' is going to be trimmed soon. On the upside only the people who are truely interested in cars an not 'the scene' will be left..not to mention killing off the ****t parts manufactures. Quality will survive, and the rice will die

Dont get me wrong, i'm not happy the show is gone, hell i only live 5 mins from the speedway, and i came in 3rd in my class in 04 in my old prelude, but having gone every year since 00, i'm not suprised its gone, espically having dealt with NOPI a few times

leave now.

my boots, they are shaking, let me show you them , speaking of whinny girls

ah, I see where you're coming from. I wasn't referring to the gas prices, though. --that's why I just quoted "the scene" portion of your post. But I agree, only the real enthusiasts will continue. I do, however, believe that a new market of consumers has already come about. Directly in relation to the rising gas prices, modifications that increase fuel efficiency will be highly sought after--like the "turbo" fin intake insert.

Gas may go down. In 1973 the US had a oil crisis and the gas prices were close to what they are right now

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1973_oil_crisis

There were also less serious crisis in 1979 and 1990 whrre there was a spike in gas prices.

I'm just sayin' have a little faith in what we love One more thing: I wasn't around in 2000, so I can't speak on this peak you speak of I can say that our business opened in 2001 and has been pretty strong since. In fact we make a living off this industry...own a house, our shop and 6 cars. We also have an awd dynojet dyo and a 2 car race team all supported by this industry. I agree that it has it's ups and downs, but I do have to say that we pay our bills every month because of this industry with a little to spare for fun. I did notice a decrease in sponsorship budgets this year...but I saw just as many vendors at SEMA as I have always seen in the years past. Sure, budget are tight all around, but our industry is built on disposable income for the most part. That means either rich folks with tons of money left over for a hobby or kids with no bills to worry about in the first place cuz their parents worry about them. Not very many middle class folk involved with what we all do. Those are the people who are really suffering eight now.

Let me just say, I'm not here to argue Only to hope

Yo. I got this email from Atlanta Motor Speedway:

"It looks like we are going to host our own in-house event, the AC Delco Street Drag Nationals. We are going to make a formal announcement sometime tomorrow. We will have drag racing, show-n-shine and burn out competition. It is going to be Friday Night and Saturday afternoon/evening.
We are not trying to duplicate a NOPI show rather just hosting the type of event that we know a lot about and feel comfortable producing. Anyone interested in coming out, having fun, racing fast, looking at cool cars and spending the day at the track should come hang out."

what do ya think?

[headpants]

what happend to j bird and the motorsport nationals. they are also having something like nopi, cause on motorsportnationals.com it says:

Thanks everyone for the amazing response. We are working very hard to make details available to you all. Please bear with us as we go about the difficult task of changing over everything to the new show. Hopefully next week you will see new information being displayed. Again, we just got the keys to the event last Friday, so HERE WE GO!!!

I'm with what the last guy posted what happen to the Saturday Sunday ordeal? If it's just going to be friday night and saturday afternoon you can count me out.

[Tracy]

I have spoken with J-Bird and I don't think they are involved anymore. They all went back and forth on how to do it and I think they decided it would be best if AMS just had a small event with a little more added to their Friday night deal that they usually have. I don't know exactly what the deal is. I guess once I find out, I'll be there
