I don't blame them. The attendance of spectators and racers sucked. I have been to other nopi events in Bristol and such and they were so much better. They had tons of manufacturs and vendors you could buy stuff from, plus there were tons more people at it. It's still coming to Florida which is good, we'll just have to go to it down at Moroso which is always more fun anyways. Except down there, there are even more rotaries.

I agree. About three or four years ago we had a lot of spectators and vendors. Now we dont. The support isnt there since F&F
