I think I would argue against 2008 being a peak in terms of entries in the American Le Mans Series. Here is the average entry numbers, since inception. These do include the GT-C cars for 2009.

1999 38.66666667
2000 31.5
2001 28.875
2002 34.6
2003 36.66666667
2004 27.22222222
2005 25.8
2006 24.8
2007 24.25
2008 30.3
2009 23.88888889

To me it looks like a long-term decline, with a couple of anomolies in the data set.
