Default Re: Car Count

Guys, I work in the airline industry, and both leisure and business travel is down a bunch. The only demographic still strong is the seniors, they're on fixed income and only travel a few times a year, but they haven't seemed to be impacted as everyone else. I think some of this is fear driven. We don't know where the bottom is and it's affecting our spending habits. Indiana has almost 10% unemployment..brutal. Elkart, IN has 25% unemployment due to the RV industry. We're taking the year off from racing to build a little reserve should we need it...I know a lot of people who are still racing, but fewer events.

Just my .02 cents...good luck to all!
