Here we are just 7 days until the VIR HST test day before the race weekend and there's only 191 total entries, 17 of which are the new SMX class. Why the low car count?
As of today, the big bore open wheel group has 19 entries, but 16 of those are FE2's. Only 1 P1 and 2 P2's registered. That leaves zero FA, FC, and FX entries.
I know SRF3 pilot Bobby Sak said after last year's event he wouldn't return. So far, he's not registered. Gabe doesn't go there any more after the last HST we entered back in 2021. That was the event where Rettich got punted on the last restart and came to rest offline, but they still called a FCY, finishing under yellow.
Any thoughts?
