I think there were several reasons. A fantastically beautiful day, ideal
driving weather; asphalt, maybe like San Diego's so some came to get a small
asphalt taste; and time for folks to 'uncork' their cars after a long
winter.
Unlike San Diego's event last year, we used less time. :) With a shorter
day, the last car ran just before the sun dipped below the hills. An amazing
performance by all. Usually one comes away from an event impressed with the
driving skills on display; this time, the organizational skills were a
highlight, too.
