The forecast was not great but the impact of inflation (especially diesel prices), and parts availability has really taken its toll on our sport.

In 2019 the ASRA held the Dave LeBrun/Alan Peters memorial race the weekend prior to the Lucas race and racers were allowed to leave their rigs there for the divisional. That might have been a contributing factor for the high numbers that year. Don’t get me wrong. Inflation sucks. These prices are hurting everything.
