Low turnout @ ATL?

There are a lot of reasons Atlanta has become unpopular. It's hot, muggy, and slow. The track can be questionable, especially down track as the sun sets. There have been a lot of racers who have had their trailer or motorhome robbed. You need to be there by noon Thursday to get parked and tech in, since Friday they'll bring the pro motorhomes in before letting the sportsman racers who stacked Thursday night in, so those sportsman racers either park quickly and hopefully manage to rush through tech, or they miss 1st round of qualifying.

All of that, combined with a crappy economy, high fuel prices, and unusually hot weather early in the year, is probably hurting the car count considerably. We absolutely would not have entered with just one car.
