The number of visitors was down considerably. Biketoberfest went by unnoticed. I read the Myrtle Beach fall rally had the lowest number of attendees in years mostly due to zoning ordinances and other city related propaganda to drive it away. Well, the tax dollars generated by these events are staggering with hotels paying a huge share of taxes that let our towns provde better roads, schools, etc... Shame some cities would cut off their own noses to spite their faces. It was the same story here in Daytona for both events this year. The number of visitors was down considerably.
