Eugene;
Perhaps not in 2002. The AMA has cancelled the Superbike event for NHIS due
to rider protest againt unsafe track conditions. This racing event is the
focal point for the traditional Father's Day weekend, even though the
majority of the visitors to the area don't go anywhere the race track.
same situation in Daytona re: the crowds. The Daytona 200 is the event,
maybe 40 to 60K spectators in the Speedway at any given time, but over 1/2
million biker nuts gather in the area. Go figure.
It will be interesting to see what the failure to hold the featured event
will do to the overall crowd size in New Hampshire.
Might be an interesting twist to gather MG's and other LBC's at the track on
that weekend, since the Superbikes won't be there.
(Unless, of course, track management manage to find another bike related
event to hold there that weekend.....)
