Granted, handle should have been up given the terrific weather and overall number of races. There's no reasonable explanation for it at this point. However, to use attendance as a metric of any type is irrelevant.
Attendance concerns are farcical because the numbers that are being used are completely artificial due to the 'spinner' phenomenon of the 90's-00's. They are 'down' because they were never that 'up'. The pairing back of giveaways guarantees lower year-to-year attendance numbers.
