Attendance

We were at Indy in 2017, but didn't get there this year. Was the attendance similar to 2017?

None of us, except the bosses, have the actual registered numbers, so an accurate answer cannot be given. And there were so many co-events going on at the speedway, you could not tell.
Only possible indicator was maybe a few less people at dinner Friday night.

I was at SAAC 47 and was disappointed in the numbers on track, both SAAC and SVRA. Saturday's SAAC Vintage race was pretty small and the SVRA Group 6 race was small as well. Quite understandable, with everything costing so much more right now, especially fuel. If regular pump gas is over $5.00/gallon, what were the guys paying for race fuel? All the big rigs towing, burning diesel, pretty stiff price to pay, especially if you're towing long distance. Overall I thought SAAC did a great job with the convention. Concours (no "e", please) was outstanding! Beautiful cars!

I know of one dedicated member who hauled a rig from the east coast to the tune $1500 in fuel.

Did it old school. Philly to Zanesville, Zanesville to Indy. Open track, parade laps, museum, evening program, etc. Paid $6/gallon for 93 at the Sunoco across from the Mug and Bun. Straight back to Philly. Guy next to me on one side at the open track drove his car from Detroit, on the other side was a rig from Ontario. Probably $400-$500 in fuel. Worth every penny. A splendid time was had by all. :)
