Not too long ago that number was well over 15,000.
The formula for judging a successful York meet is the gate attendance as it relates to the expense of running the show. When the gate was 15,000 that was a solid number to keep the meet prosperous. They also had more dealers then. Now consider that dealer participation and attendance is down maybe by as much as 20-30% while the expense of running the meet has gone up. Only the ED can tell us if the meet made any money or not. While the ED is a non-profit association they still have to bear the huge expense of running the meet. Turning a profit is essential to maintaining the meet and I certainly hope that ED is achieving this goal. With the opening of the meet to the public maybe some former TCA members will come again. I am considering going next Oct as at this point all admissions count. No sense making it harder on the good folks.
