What you aren't taking into account is location/travel. The AMSA is a non traveling series, so if all of their racers are within a reasonable distance from WRP then it would make sense that most if not all of them are able to make all of the races there. Therefore their average count stays relatively consistent. Where as the MMSA as you've quoted is a traveling series and therefore some of the races are too far for a majority of the racers to make the trip to. However I know of at least 2 races this past year (Bloomington and Columbus) where we had a count well over 30. Now don't take this as a defensive dig at you, I'm just trying to explain why those averages are they way they are.
