I?m a realist, nothing last forever.

You're not only a realist...

Love it? Yup! Can afford it? Yup....it won't die.

I’ve owned fishing boats that had to be kept in a slip, too big for a trailer. A stock, super stock car is a bargain compared to a boat kept in the water. Just look at all the pleasure boats and fishing boats in a marina. If those guys wanted to save money they would all go drag racing (LOL) I can park my classic race car in the garage and it won’t cost me anything, it might actually go up in value. Not so with a boat, just keep shoveling money into it whether it is being used or not.

The way this hobby goes away is by death, both of the participants, racers and staff that work these events and car culture which has already died with late Millennials, Gen Z and Gen Alpha.

You can't deny the inevitable.

Just curious, why are you trying to promote the end of the sport? You continuously claim the "obvious demise" but why? Most folks here want to collaborate to make class racing better. What value do you perceive your input being? Millennial here, trying to do my part!

I’m not promoting it, just accepting the inevitable. The bigger question is why are you afraid of the reality of class racing’s demise and the reasons for it?

You didn't answer the question. "What value do you perceive your input being?"

Right back at you, what value do you perceive your input being?

I have not been providing input. For the last 4 years I've simply been a sponge on this website. For the most part, I have received a great deal of insight and guidance on how to advance my program. I am truly thankful for that. But when I see posts like this, I get disheartened and therefore now providing input. The fact that there are folks like you out there that are trying to discourage future interest in the sport concerns me. So once again unless you are providing input that is contributing to the benefit of those reading, why are you even here?

I've been a member of this forum since 2001 and it has given me great joy until recently because of one member and his constant negative and abusive postings.
We spend way too much time reading his diatribe and responding to it.
As I have the greatest respect for Ken Miele he must think Racer1320 is good for business.

Use the block feature. That pretty much tells Ken ( if he?s looking) what the forum will tolerate. Without racers there is no forum?.
