Does the lack of full classes indicate less interest this year than in the past?

With such a messed up economy, I would imagine that it's taking it's toll on many people that would usually have been breaking the door down to get in - that sucks.

Yeah with the way things are going right now most big races will be taking a hit right now I would think...heck look at the reedy race....not even a sell out that has to be the first time. Big entry fees mixed with big cost to get to some of these races isnt as easy to come up with as it was a year or so ago....which really sucks. Everyone that is able to make it will have a good time forsure....its Vegas and its on the Strip again....what more could you ask for????

I think many people went to Vegas the past couple of years hoping to pay off their mortgage when they got back home. For most...it didn't work out so well.

Remember, it took 7 days for this race to sellout last year. So there is still time.
