Nopi Motorsports also cancelled the second half of the drag race season this year as well due to financial hardship. Give it a few more years and all the big name companies will be gone.There will be new companies that will replace those that are gone. That sucks, but thats the way things work.

We are slowly seeing all the major manufacturers get dumped by major distributors (hence the Apexi blowout thread we had a few weeks ago, as apexi was dumped by one of the major usa distributors). As steel prices increase, as gas increases, as UPS rates increase, it forces major companies to raise prices. Add ontop of that, a struggling economy where people aren't buying near as much as 5 years ago, and we have big trouble for companies that sell our 'toys' vs. our 'necessities'.

All of which contributes even more to our ever growing economy problems. It's all one vicious cycle. I forsee it getting much worse in the near future. Anybody on the sales end of the counter can see that. It's gonna really test the strength of alot of buisinesses both big and small.

I'm betting the change in pace is going to be more common with the falling economy. sucks, but its life.
