I could tell attendance was down just from the hotels near my job had only a few bike trailers in lot. Normally the lots were packed with trucks and trailers. Main st. was a breeze compared to other years. I remember just last year being stuck in traffic on the main st. bridge for an hour, not this year.

We got here in Daytona Thursday afternoon and the croud was way below usual. Friday night went down Main Street, good croud but still not as many as before. today we went to the track and it was very crouded, never got to main street. The weather was fantastic, mid 80s and lots of sun.

Let me take a stab at who might give a ***! How about the local businesses, you know like hotels, night clubs, service stations and restaurants just to name a few. And the vendors that helped put it on so that you could have a good time.
