Sebring Double National Questions
Posted: Mon Jan 09, 2012 4:54 pm
Okay everyone - we had 35 SRFs at Sebring for the Double National. Last year we had 50. We've had over 40 every year since the event went to 12 Hour Course in 2004 or so (we ran on the Club Course using just Green Park until then).
As Central Florida Region's Assistant RE, I'm curious as to why we had such a big drop. The event as a whole was down about 15% - but SRF was down twice that. Anyone care to comment on why? Is it the economy? The HANS device rule? SA2000 Helmets being phased out? Just hate Sebring? Mad at Central Florida Region? Is it something we did? Or didn't do? Or said? How about the Super Tour - did that influence your decision one way or the other?
I know this isn't scientific, but I'd really like to know what everyone thinks. I know the economy is still an issue for many - but the disproportionate drop in SRF car count really bothers me.
