I just watched the recap with a few highlites and the stands didn't look full at all but maybe I missed something. Looks a little on the cool side as well but we may be dealing with that in Florida next month as well. Yuma is just kinda out in the middle of nowhere and that may hurt the crowd. The casino being there does nothing for me.

My first time to Cocopah in person. If you aren't used to it, the weather really felt fridgid. I thought it was a really good show and enjoyed watching drivers from all the differeent organizations. The crowd did seem a little light, but will probably get better by next weekend. I won't be able to make it out there again until next weekend, but it is supposed to be much warmer, and I would guess a bigger crowd.
