It started out REALLY strong on Friday, but I do think the weather had a HUGE part in this years event. The heat and humidity on Saturday and the "Gale force" rains that followed might have kept some at home. Was a good time thats for sure but I did miss seeing some of the US racers. No Monson, Baio, Chuck L and his team, The Falcon from NPS, though maybe Golobo, Butch Kemp, James Gorski, even Mark Walter's but there's a reason for them. EVERY American that has ever been at the event over the years loved it. Hell even Mustang Mike lats year, maybe not his crew, but Mike like it too. Even some of the OSCA regulars couldn't or didn't show and that's why the car turn out in some classes were lighter than there should have been, like All Motor Street. OSCA is getting about 8 a race now, but only 2 from there showed up, plus Scott Williams for a total of 3 cars. Same with the 8.5 index. Was changed for a reason, but car turnout was light. Most classes had a good show. 9 Outlaw cars, but 2 didn't run in the show, just TT or Lic. or something. But S/S, EZ, Wild Street, 10.0, 11.0, 12.0 were full fields. So really only Plate Nitrous, All Motor, and 13.0 were light. That's not too bad compared to the others, NSCA and Pro. Outlaw Drag Radial I think had 7 cars for the 8 car field. The DR stuff up hear isn't all the big therefore the ODR had really no one to hang with these guys, YET. 8)
