Not a single person has ever shown.
I'm glad run to the coast and all these events are happening is, but bottom line is, they are tied to car show events, hence attendance.

There you go putting words in other people's mouths again. Slow learner?
It takes a big committment to attend an event that's a day's drive each way. Personally, I have a job with major responsibilties with a required on-call schedule covering 24/7/365 that I share with 2 other guys. Getting significant time off (measured in days) takes planning months, if not a year, in advance. I have 2 kids. They have plenty of activities and sports that they are involved with outside of school. (I won't even get into all my web development work that I do at night)
When you have responsibilty, you can't just up and leave for 2 or 3 days without major planning. I also have to balance my available time off with family activities.
I KNOW there are countless members on this site that are in the same boat - trying to balance all the activities in their lives. Since I have to explain this to you, obviously you don't understand responsibilty. You just sit behind your keyboard and belittle members from your narrow view of the world.
Do I want to attend all these events? Hell yeah, of course I do. I promote them as much as I can. That's why I built, maintain, and host the Optima Invitational site. I want it, and all the other events, to succeed. I think it's fantastic that HPDE events are popping up all over the country.
So please think before you start running your mouth.
