From the pics with crowd shots - it looks like attendance was way down compared to last year. In 2008, I believe they announced 33,000 paid spectators on Saturday not including the pit population.
Friday was liter but saturday was mob city, all 4 Famosa parking lots filled to the top. Parking up/down the highway by the orchards 1/2 mile in each direction. Total saturday crowd was estimated @ 36,000..
The crowds were like the old saturday nite crowds @ Lions, Irwindale or OCIR.. Everytime the nitro funny cars staged the crowds went to the fence, the bleachers were jammed even the aisle ways had people sitting there. Nitro fumes in the air and monsterous burnouts..
Totally blown away. Thanks to Famosa Raceway & the Auto Club, great event!!!!
Just my $0.02..
