Just spoke to some of the North East crew that are down at the Nats and this is the information that has been passed along. (so don't shoot the messenger)

Lots of rain...hope it clears up so they can get in some races.

This years general turnout has been very poor.

Car show was way down on cars, more than in years past years.(small infield show)

Not many vendors in attendance. (used parts vendors say nobodys buying)

General concensis is that the "current" rise in gas prices has lots of people in a state of shock, and the ''current" economic situation has people affraid to spend.
The GSCA Nats is one of the first "BIG" Buick events of 2008 that has played out during the USAs failing econony and gas crisis. Hopefully we will get used to these times we're in and learn to go with the flow and adjust our priorities so we can continue to enjoy our hobby without disruption.
