I'm not sure how this ended up in this thread, but since the question was asked.... We did not lose money, but was it worth a year and a half's worth of work? Financially, no. We have still not determined if another one is in the cards. Our hearts say yes, but let's just say that Anthony and I are "pick-up and open trailer guys" -- not independently wealthy by any stretch of the imagination. A small swing in the car count could've been disastrous.

This event SHOULD be a no-brainer, and it deserves to exist. However, there were a large number of people who lived relatively close that did not attend for whatever reason, including many who told us that they were coming, plus we had a shocking, staggeringly low turnout from Division 1.

We are leaning toward doing it again, but due to the lack of support from some areas, if we do, we'll have to make some changes to make it a viable event.

To all those who participated -- racers, fans, and sponsors: your wide smiles, great enthusiasm, and massive enjoyment made it worthwhile!
