Rulebook is up.

New Drivers forum at top for drivers, email mark@nopi.com with who you are to get in.

More info/discussions on there soon.

Please try to be active on it if you are a driver or someone who wants to be a NOPI Driver and help them use it to pass along information to do with NOPI Drift and NOPI Drift Liscencing events. Suggestions on NOPI Liscencing events and discussion are welcome as well on the forum as long as any questions about the series, stops on the series, or anything.

They had that last year, it just wasn't enforced for whatever reason.

Also notice suspension/firewall and some other rules have been opened up.

It was in the rulebook before the judges were finalized, then was removed by the judges. After discussion, we felt that it might be a way for NOPI to help make things exciting. This was explained at several events in drivers meetings, and I think it worked out just fine.

Don't play stupid, Mike.

i honestly didnt know anythign about that other than what i heard at a shop in atl...lolz.

at the end of the year though someone on drifting.com pointed out the rulebook said no passing and thats what it said when i redl'ed it.

we need to work on sticking to one thing though.
