A lot. 🙂
Honestly besides what I’ve heard I can only speculate. Even when people say they are coming you don’t count those chickens until they hatch.
Plus, pre entry has only been available 6 days it’s open for a month. So pre entries right now don’t mean anything either. I haven’t even bothered to see how many entered yet. Plus, you dont have to pre enter the race.
But, this weekend at least a dozen Midwest guys claimed they were coming. Maybe others. Also have confirmation that a continegent from CA is definately coming. Also pretty sure that some guys in Texas and Canada are coming. Plus I’m sure not everyone thats coming has told me.
The numbers may vary obvioulsy, but I do know that the guys who have told me they were coming were serious players. They will only increase the field competitiveness.
