GS Nats Attendance
Does anyone know how the attendance numbers compared to some of the past Nats? I attended the 02 Nats and the numbers were down considerably. Gene

The early 90's were packed with people, but it's getting slimmer each year. I've been every year since '89 & the cars/people get fewer as time goes one. Hopefully next year since the event will be held after the kids are out of school, more families can attend.

Hopefully a more legitimate organization such as the BPG will emerge.

The event has lasted 24 years, so someone must be doing something right.

That will happen when people value their friends and cars more than they care about "crap".

Hell, yeah! People will take a lot of crap. I have heard there are Buick bulletin boards that exist following that same principle.

There were plenty of V8's. I know that I don't take many pics of non-TR cars. I occasionally take V8 pics, but the car really has to catch my eye.
