    I am going to try and make it, but I may have to go out of town that weekend. Hopefully I'll be there though.

    Can someone tell me once and for all where the "NOPI" name came from? Is it an acronym for something?

    (As far as I'm concerned, NOPI sounds dopey! :D)

    I think it comes as a shortened version of:

    No Pe (nis)

    or nopi for short

    I think that the cars at those events look trashy and overtuned.

    Jim,

    I believe it stands for Number One Parts Importer (NOPI). At least that is what I have heard.
