Austin does, I know. What kind of turnout rates are you seeing?
I noticed that Run-Far is not promoting theirs this year.

there is one here in socal. not sure about the other races but Piru 20K usually has a good turn out (40+? riders). 40K was about half of that last year. I would love to see more TT's... and more LONG TT's. something like 30mile+ would be interesting.

The two I know of are Fiesta Island and Tom's Farm Time Trial although Tom's isn't doing very many this year. Fiesta Island sells out and they take 150 riders. Then there's several one-time TTs spread throughout the year and the Omniums.

The club I belong to holds a weekly 15km TT, they alternate the course every week. There's usually about 20-30 people that show up. They also hold four 40km TT's and 2 other courses. Those ones get get upwards of 40 people.

Even though there are no real racers here, we have had a TT every Tues evening from Apr-Sept. Going on 4 years now. Totally free. Big thanks to the couple who puts it on, and their kids (who keep time).

we have tuesday night races that goes every week from april thru november that are a bunch of 4 or 5 week sets of all different disciplines: HCTT, TT, crit, XC, short track, and CX.
i'm part of the group thats trying to integrate them into one big series with a running points total and BAR prizes at the end of the year.
its pretty great.

In Gainesville we have two non-sanctioned TT series. The "cemetery" series has been running for a LONG time. I think that current Kenda rider Bobby Sweeting broke the course record previously held by current Kenda rider Phil Gaimon. In addition kensuf has started just last year another TT series.
Down the road in Orlando they have a sanctioned TT series.

Salt Lake has a race series that includes 2 weekly crits, a weekly hill climb, and a TT. In fact, I'm on my way to the first crit of that series this year this afternoon (if it doesnt get rained out).
Total beginner though, haven't been to the TT so I dont know how many people actually show up. Get a fair amount at the crits though.

Ours could only be called extremely successful. Last year we had almost 200 different riders over the course of the year. It is a no-charge self-timed weekly event. We also do a mass start hillclimb.
