’09 Nats Registrations

On the AMA website you can find the current registration numbers for the 2009 NATS. Granted it’s early, and there will be some late entries, but the numbers for the Electric events look dismal. Here are the entries as of 7/05/2009:
Electric A __ 2
Electric B__ 3
F1Q__ 5

For comparison here are some of the other events:
P30__ 43
Cat Glider__ 39
Mulvihill__ 38
1/2 A Gas__ 37
1/2 A Classic_35
F1G__ 34
AB Classic__ 32
F1B Wake.__ 30

Plus, there are eight other events with 15 or more entries. The sad truth is that Electric has attracted little or no interest over the last 3 years. The 2007 electric numbers were higher than we have now.
