The economy perhaps? Since I've been unemployed for a year and a half
making Nationals this year is going to be a struggle and it's going to
be my last event until I find a new job. I suspect that many others are
in similar financial straights as well. Through in the high cost of
gasoline and an entry fee that's $100 and it's not surprising that less
people can make it. We'll probably still get 900 or so but I doubt that
the 1200 entry limit will be in jeopardy.
