What Are your thoughts?

Good comments, all.  But the reason I wrote the question is due to the lack of a wait list.  I mean, we would literally have a ten person wait list from day one.  Now that is a really big difference from "Green is full for the Glen".  I mean, we would fill EVERY event.

Were we great marketers?  Hardly.  When you have a captive and willing audience, there really is no marketing.  We just had a great program(and still do from the reports I receive back).  The instruction was second to none, and everyone was really friendly.  And the prices were not bad at all.

I really think that the main reason that this is happening is due to the economy overall, not just gas.  Someone had said that there is less credit(Home Equity) cash out there, so fewer folks are entering the hobby.  This sounds reasonable.  Times are tough and are only going to get tougher.  And contrary to popular belief, not eveyone that drives a Porsche is a Multi-Millionaire, insulated from the fluctuations of the economy.

And lastly, I really think that peoples priorities change over time.  I know mine have.  I have to do a bunch of work on my home, bills are going up, and my salary is not increasing at the same pace.  So while I really enjoy(ed) the whole track experience, it is just not in the cards at the moment.

It's just interesting how things ebb and flow.
