Central Texas. I'm just going off what I saw at Copperas Cove, Apache Pass, and Pace bend where I saw the low Cat5 numbers despite awesome weather. I was at Lago Vista and attendance was OK in the 35+ 4/5 races, but I didn't note the numbers in the pure 4/5 race or what the mix of Cat 5's were compared to Cat 4's.

I didn't do any careful analysis, but I know Copperas Cove only had ~30 starters in their only Cat 5 group. I drove the follow vehicle for one of the Cat5 races at Apache pass and we had 14 starters and I think our other Cat 5 race had less than 30. All of these races had unseasonably warm/dry weather, which makes the drop off seem strange. Maybe people are looking to suffer in the cold and rain this time of year.
