I think the RTTC was a hit. Its safe to bet everyone had a great time (except if you were told to leave.)
The fact that they had that many cars when it was created in such short notice. It was on Easter Weekend. Same weekend as Barrett Jackson. I think turnout was pretty good.
Myself and Greg drove from Washington and Oregon, to go to this event even though we didn't compete. We wanted to show support for this type of event on the west Coast. (We also need a Power Tour type event also) We volunteered and worked the Autocross we had a blast.

The only thing I would add is that spectators be allowed in, charge a fee and let them watch. El Toro isn't set up for that, so I could understand the reason for that but, as a spectator on the sidelines watching it gets his blood flowing and goes home and gets a car put together and participates in the future.
I don't think Drag Racing and Nascar would be as big as they are if they didn't alow spectator attendance.

These events are in there infancy stage, they are going to grow and they are going to be much more competitive now that money is involved. As projects get finished more people will participate. Im glad I can say I was there when it all started.
