Folks at RedBud said the attendance there was the highest in recent memory.

Red Bud was a very good attendance and Millville was good but it was my first time there so I'm not sure what to expect at that one.

Oh....they said on pulp last night that Millville pits wad a ghost town. Just wondering if the injuries has attendance down but from your responses I guess not.

Budds Creek attendance was definitely down but that was due to the weather. Us hardcore fans had no F's to give about the tornado that went through a few miles down the road or the torrential downpour.

I used to go to Millville every year, but missed out on the last 2, just going from memory but I would say attendance was up from all years I have been there before. I do a lot more walking around the track than most and I can say people lined the entire course and the hillside behind the finish was pretty packed as well.

Muddy Creek was the lowest of any of the years I have been. At least that's what it looked like.

i have a feeling the Utah national will be packed this year seeing it's the last race out there.

we got the upgraded camping inside the track area this year, expensive, but beats the mile walk from the campground hauling chairs and ez-ups.

Pits were very empty at Millville.
I noticed that too and thought it was odd because the crowd was solid out near the track.
Red bud was good too.

Millville seemed down on spectator numbers....maybe the heat/maybe the rain/ but it seemed down.

Maybe the people were in different (shade) places because of the heat but the big spectator hill overlooking the finish line jump was not packed up like it usually is.

I thought Red Bud looked about the same as usual and I've gone a lot in recent years.

Highpoint attendance was great as usual. If not the most amount of people I've seen in recent memory. Pits were quite busy also.

Memorial Day weekend definitely impacted GH attendance. How's the ankle doing now?

Attendance at the creek was up at Millville. Probably due to the beautiful weather.

It had been a couple years since I had gone to Hangtown but I went this year and it was packed. No clue on the pit attendance though, I was on the far hillside and was not about to walk all the way over to it just to pay more money to look at bikes. It is the first round though so I'm pretty sure having more of the top riders before injury helped.
