Unofficially, it looks like we had 497 entries.  With nearly 300 on Saturday alone, I really thought we'd be well over 500.

497 sounds good, but Big E sounded a little disappointed the other day too, thinking we should have had a lot more. What's the normal turnout for a National? and if this is low what do we think caused it?

I am only slightly disappointed, we seem to get more racers than the average desert race most years.  The DMC National had, I think about 550.  I thought we might get close to 600.  I have no idea what may have caused our lower number of entries.

Quote from: "Double A"How many ended up pre-entering?

I think 138, and 24 of those never made it to the race.

I'd say we didn't get 530+ because of the "red mountain" factor.

Not because of anything we did or didn't do.

maybe it was the "jackrabbits effect" - meaning: a lot of people said they're not going to go to the jackrabbits next year because it was sooo hard this year (I personally liked it) and from what i hear poeple thought your race was really hard last year (which I was looking foward too and was very pleased) so maybe they just didnt come this year in fear of having to race a national caliber course...

This thread is a year old.  I haven't counted our entries for 2007 yet.

I dunno. If we got 500+ riders, I would say well done and start thinking about next next. My $.02.

I wonder if this year, 2007, it may have been the chance of rain. Although I would think that it would bring more people.

We may have lost a couple of riders due to the Royal Flush last year, but overall it looks like participation is down this year.  Jackrabbits and United MC both had lower turnouts than last year.  I haven't seen how many Desert MC had this year yet.

Ouch.  Last year they had 521 and 523 in 2005.  If we had 460 this year, we had a smaller percentage drop off than Desert MC.
