Were they combined grid numbers Greg?

I think if you look over the competitor numbers for the last, say, five years then you will see a real decline in numbers. IPRA has traditionally been strong and consistent in competitors but a large proportion of the field has disappeared even since 2006 when I competed. New competitors have not, in the whole, appeared to take up the numbers. So where are all those guys who competed 4-5 years ago? Has the economic uncertainty of the last few years forced people to re-evaluate their participation? There must be a lot of cars sitting in garages!

As for the panel damage, I think that only happens at the front, where sheep-stations are at stake!
