Per MSR, a year ago we had 116 entrants in Sept, 129 in Oct and 140 in Nov. In 2019 we had 111 in Sept, 112 in Oct, 107 in Nov. We are now running at 140 entrants. What changed besides covid is an increased demand, at least locally. Not saying that in the past we were not running 150+ cars but with TOs a portion of those 150 cars were obviously the same driver/car also doing comp runs. At the current structure all 140 are unique drivers with a good portion being newbies. That said the SC is looking at ways to increase the number of drivers without reducing the increased number of runs. One step in that direction was doing course set up, whenever possible, the day before the event.
Kind regards
