My sentiment as well. I counted a little over 400 cars at its peak from my drone shots, the official attendance was 440. In 2017 it was more than 700 cars.
And I was surprised to see so little P5s and P6s. The P4 guild did great with attendance, they had close to 100 cars, 75/ZTs were a close second, but the rest were in smaller numbers than expected.
All reasons Jim gave are valid, there is also something recurring which I’ve yet to identify properly, but since we’ve been out of the various lockdowns I have a feeling some people have changed priorities, schedules are busy, family gatherings take precedence, other stuff too, and we’re facing increasing difficulty with attendance to car meets. I see the same in France…
