My latest monthly graph. I have 22 per day from Dec 29th till Jan 25th. Obviously slow growth, IMO, no amount of marketing can turn this reservation trend around now, only tangible progress towards production.

Just an observation-
The most popular sports in the US, is directly related to amount of commercials that can be shown
Football, and Basketball on top ( the last 2 minutes of either can sometimes last 15 minutes (with timeouts/reviews/challanges/injuries
Hockey is next (and with the recent inclusion of timeouts)
and English Football (you know soccer) with no time outs and only a 1/2 time is like watching Public Television or premium cable!!
I've come to love Eng football as a result of it!- It's really a great game, and they really do get injured aside from their "flops"
I'll be watching the Superbowl- but keeping my eyes on the wonderful commercials!!!
Go Hawks- (gotta, my two kids live in Seattle, and it'll be in my next life if my home team ever sees a Super Bowl(Miami)
I used to hate soccer, but I lived in England for a year and learned to appreciate footy. I now coach my kids teams. As far as diving goes, it sucks, but now I see the parallels in all other sports, Lebron in bball is the funniest example that I can think of. There was a meme on the internet recently with kids were video-ing their friends "Lebroning".

The problem with that assertion is that the daily rate has been hovering about this level for several months now and the 24.4 daily average of the week immediately after the delay announcement actually beats the average over the period you quoted. The reality is that what EM needs is simply the passage of time along with good news to share such as video of a completed running engine which is no different from what they needed before any of the events of the last few weeks transpired. :)

My reference to slow growth was not meant to be only the last 4 weeks but since September.

Dusty, you mean to tell me you don't like Kyle Busch? How can that be?........:p

Just picky I guess, can't seem to like guys who have to wall shot girls to win.
Johanna Long got the patented wall shot by Kyle Busch, last lap, turn four, for the win at the Snowball in Pensacola. Ron Hornaday, damn near got killed with a totally irresponsible KB wall shot at Talladega. The pattern for him goes on and on, adnauseum. :rolleyes:

Count me in on that thread, just as long as there are no KyBu fans there. ;)

understood .... there are a few drivers I pull for .... a bunch that I enjoy watching but don't have any strong feelings about one way or the other .... but Shrub is the only 1 that am happy to see have mechanical problems put his car behind the wall .... there is no question that he has considerable driving talent but that's it .... all the rest is negative

I do tend to giggle whenever Jeff Gordon or Jimmy Johnson have issues.

Won't be long before we'll say "Kyle who?"

Here's what I have been waiting for, Chase Elliot will drive the 24. Here is a considerable driving talent in a polite, smart, cool, patient and clean driving, very young, Champion.
Now we have a new star that everyone can be proud of. Chase wears his hat on straight,
his pants up where they should be and can talk with the media without hiding in a hoodie. A complete Class Act, start to finish and a great roll model for the future of Nascar. Hendrick, Dale Jr. and his Dad are guiding his path and he will become a Legend.
