Ocean City H2Oi event postponed until 2018

The Daily Times

Officials from the event H2Oi announced in a statement on its website that this year's car show will be postponed until 2018 because of changes in venue in a limited time frame.

A file image from a video shot in Ocean City during H2O International and posted online shows drivers of two Volkswagens racing on Coastal Highway during a past event.

The annual event draws people to Ocean City to showcase heavily-modified Audis and Volkswagens. The unsanctioned event has become a popular one and often a notorious attraction.

Automotive website Jalopnik called H2Oi "America's Most Ticketed Car Show."

"After working extraordinarily hard to provide you with the same quality event that you have come to expect, I am saddened to announce that this year's H2Oi will be postponed until next year," the statement reads.

Next year, H2Oi will be celebrating its 20th anniversary.
