[QUOTE=The Judge;4034864]2007 roar onroad nats classes:

STOCK TOURING CAR : 34 ENTRYS
19T TOURING CAR : 20
MOD TOURING CAR :20
MASTERS TOURING CAR : 16
12TH SCALE STOCK :16
12TH SCALE 19T :9

These numbers show that 4 out of the top 5 class were pretty close on
entrys. Maybe our ROAR Excom should look at how to get more interest
in our sport than worrying about how many classes we have. 115 entrys at a
National Event shows that our sport is strugling to survive. And why are
worried about to many classes!!!!!!!!!LOL [/QUOTE
That's not a very good or fair comparison, the nats location was changed with only a few weeks notice, the primary track, PeeIt had to shut down unexpectedly, and then fortunately Seattle Indoor Raceway stepped up to take over the date. That change of venue did cost ROAR a lot of racers at the nats. Sign ups were slow in coming in from the factory teams and the AE team didn't even bother to pre-enter, they just showed up the first morn of practice, really screwing up the pit acomedations for the rest of us. With some of the factory teams not pre-registering, interest was lost by quite a few privateirs.
A more fair nats to use would be the 05 Sacramento nats.
