Whoa there, big fella'.
First, everyone knows that autocrossers are the worlds worst procrastinators.
Jean's OK to post the Evolution event deadline on a regular basis as a
reminder on what potentially will be this year's biggest spectacle :-) short
of Nationals. Those who don't make the 8/1 (1 month in advance of the actual
event) deadline will probably be destined for your event.
Second, a number of competitors who don't want to show their hand to others
before Nat's won't be going there, but will instead be going to your
Divisional event.
Further, a number of people are looking at attending the Peru warm-up on
Saturday and then jogging over to St Louey for your Divisional on Sunday and
Monday, leaving their cars there, and flying back for a short drive to Nat's.
I don't see where you need to be overly concerned about attendance to the
Gateway-to-Nationals Divisional event in St Louis, MO on Labor Day weekend.
It's a great concept that should do well.
